LA CALAVERA
Sepia brown was a tint.
Photographs and drawings,
the thinly-etched lines of crazed
yet very deliberate artists, yes,
everything made in this fashion
is now long gone.
-
Tarot Cards are worth nothing without
their backings. Colored like flame, they
overdue in earnestness what they also
present in theory. Various artists have
made various famed versions.
-
Bosch cards are highly valued.
Some seemingly maddening, magical
quality, an intensity of illustration,
a richness of outlook, give them value.
-
Beware of boys who once collected
baseball cards - trading then in, now,
for fortune-tellers and fame; all the
future on a glossy card's worth.
