Divorce, separ-
ation possi-

Infidelity, betrayal
and disap-
pointment.

Theft, lies and malice.
Look
after your posessions
and do not
give your trust to
readily.

Anxiety and sleep-
less nights,
spite
and slander which under-
mine confidence.
Suffering that is
eventual
good such as putting
up with painful
treatment
in order to get
better. Female
health
problems and, possibly,
self-punishment
and guilt.

Excellent social life,
parties,
good friends and

IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE SOMEONE I ALREADY KNOW?

20/03/2015

for SF

Mainly minor: in your hands

A conscien-
tious person, thrifty
and capable.
Someone who has little
money but
splendid
prospects. A student
with a sense
of duty. A patient
person.
Also there maybe good news
about money.

An intelligent man
in a position of
trust
and authority. He
is a wise and
loyal advisor. Logical
and calm,
he dislikes overt
displays of emotion.
He requires a lot
of mental
stimulation.

Delay all plans, be-
cause there
are hidden obstacles
or enemies.
Be discreet.

High honour, the
achievement
of ambition. It may show
an influential man
whose help
may be required.
It is the card of bosses
and people
in authority. The Emperor
rep-
re-
sents 
the man in control
in any given sit-
uation
or problem. To a woman
he may represent
her husband
or father.

Hidebound tradition
stifling new
thought.
Problems
of inheritance and family
disputes over
money.

A warm sympathetic
and sociable
woman.
She may be
artistically gifted and very
imagi-
native. 
The Queen is honest,
loyal and de-
voted to those she
loves.
 

HOW WILL I AFFORD TO BUY A PLACE OF MY OWN?

19/03/2015

for IC

Mainly minor: in your hands
Pentacles: Earth, money

Delay all plans,
because
there are hidden obs-
tacles
or enemies. Be
discrete.

A sensible, matron-
ly woman
who has a good
head
for business. Kind-
hearted
and charitable, she also
has a taste
for luxury. Sometimes
moody
her general person-
ality
is very caring.

This is the worst card in the pack.
Betrayed,
lost, cold and love-
less this card
shows the lowest
point in fortune.
However, since this is
the worst it can
get,
improvements must surely follow.
The only
way
from here is
up!

A conscientious
person, thrifty
and capable.
Someone who has little
money
but splendid
prospects.
A student with a sense of duty.
A patient
person. Also
there may be good
news
about money.

Miserly attitudes, a grasping
mentality. Avarice, dis-
content
and envy of
others.

Difficult circums-
tances, yet you
will gain more than you have
lost. An unhappy
time will
soon
end.

WHERE WILL I LIVE IN THE COLD MIDWINTER?

9/03/2015

for DB

Mainly minor: in your hands
Three Pages: good social life, fun, lively parties

Money,
put to good
use. Help
from someone else,
charity, benevolence.
Do not waste
this bounty, put it
to good use.
Someone sees hidden
talents in you.
Financial support.
Outstanding debts
will be paid.

A 'turn
for the better', the end
result of past actions and
the workings
of destiny, which no one can
completely
understand. An end
to current problems
and some
marked strokes of luck.

A wastrel, a dissolute
and impatient
person who has a constant
need for money.
A scrounger.

False accusations, imprisonment
and oppression.
Another interpretation
is that you
will cause a sudden
change or show
a rebellious attitude that
will be a shock, surprise
or dismay
others.

A trivial and spoilt
person,
one who manipu-
lates others'
feelings.
Perhaps this person lives
in a dream
world.

A quick-
witted and intelligent
youngster, eloquent
and sharp. Eager
to learn and
adept
at turning situations
to his or
her
advantage. The Page may
bring news, contacts
and gossip.

HOW WILL THE RESULT OF THE GENERAL ELECTION AFFECT ME?

19/03/2015

for GH
Mainly minor: in your hands

Miserly attitudes, a grasping

mentality.

Avarice,  discontent

and envy of others.

Quarrels,

competing interests,

unfortunate combinations

of events

and people. Corruption

and domestic strife.

You may be taken advantage

of: subversion,

hidden enemies. Attempts

will be made

to disrupt your plans.

Bankruptcy

or other great loss

which could

have been avoided. A rapid

change of attitude

to money is now

needed.

Don’t be afraid to leave

the past

behind. Travel.

There is plenty more in the world

to see and experience. If

you are disillusioned with your life

now, take heart

because the future promises

to be brighter. Follow

your heart and do

what you truly desire.

Frustration,

which you take out on

others. Being

your own worst enemy,

placing restrictions

upon yourself.

MIKE MILLER BY PHILIP-LORCA DICORCIA

Mike Miller, 24 years old
ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA, $25

One of my games -
two telephones
in an abandoned diner
and he picks
the left receiver.

I whisper
him undressed -
his shirt, his jeans, his socks.

From the hotel across the street
I watch him work
his soft cock hard
through Eschenbachs.
I talk him off.

And he hangs up on me.

He'll find 25 bucks in the coin return slot.

WILLIAM CHARLES EVERLOVE BY PHILIP-LORCA DICORCIA

William Charles Everlove, 28 years old
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN VIA ARIZONA, $40

He was never here
He never came
He was a ghost

I was never intimate
I never inhaled
I was alone

Somebody was never in the room next door
Somebody never heard
Somebody was in Texas

He was never anyone
He never lied
He was nothing

I was never told where he went
I never cared
I was important

CHRIS BY PHILIP-LORCA DICORCIA

Chris, 28 years old
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, $30

As I learned early
to draw the dollar -
an 's', 
some numbers
and two vertical lines,
with Chris it was simple

It was like he had rehearsed.
His small hands
unfastening my button fly,
reciting a four times table
by rote.

We met no more than seven times
according to my diary
when he 'disappeared.'

Afterwards, my journeys west
grew short. I felt
his breath behind my neck the one time
in the car and saw his shadow
in the parking lot

lengthening towards me.

MAJOR TOM BY PHILIP-LORCA DICORCIA

Major Tom, 20 years old
KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, $20

He'd scratch at the track marks
on his ankles and arms.
He never looked at anything anywhere
for more than a second
and made me nervous.

I think I loved him like a movie star,
like anybody you'd see in a gossip column.
He kinda reminded me
of the corpse of River Phoenix,
as if he'd been laid out for the tourists.

I tried to see him less and less
and each time he shrank.
Last time he was bone
and when I stroked his skin
I swear it came off in my hand.

He only wanted to see himself in a magazine.
He thought he'd be astronaut by now.

ANDRE SMITH BY PHILIP-LORCA DICORCIA

Andre Smith, 28 years old
BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA, $30

Dusk. The coin falls drip.
A plastic palm frond shivers in the breeze
of an opening door that closes
on a scuff of dust.

Outside on the parking lot, Andre,
a black youth, muscle gilded bronze
in sunset, waits
for somebody to get lucky.

The drawers glide out and in.
Silver stacks and slips.
It's a well oiled machine.
In a motel, lubricant prepares the skin.

ERIC HOLT BY PHILIP-LORCA DICORCIA

Eric Holt, 19 years old
SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO, $25

I'd call Eric on Fridays, some time
after midnight when the news
and a bottle of Jack grew stale
bedfellows.

I first picked him out on the Boulevard.
Drove him the cool night road
out of town in the convertible
with the roof down.

I think of Eric. The smell of his hair.
The way he sipped his water. His cock.
I feel shame, but never stopped
him coming.

MICHAEL GOMEZ BY PHILIP-LORCA DICORCIA

Michael Gomez, 34 years old
CHICAGO ILLINOIS, £30

Hello Michael, it's me. Is that you?

Could you come over tonight,

I'm feeling pretty scared?

No, don't turn on the light.

Don't turn on the light.

Turn it off.

What is it you're smoking these days?

Would you like to bum

one of mine? Don't turn on the light.

A bust heater stuck on high.

White cotton. Sweat in his elbows.

Please Michael, don't turn on the light.

WASP

for DM

To me they have no use, I was told.

I've been told and I am told?

A combination of the present and the past

is now suddenly suppressed since

1953? Look at this! This site 

is intended to help you reflect on your own beliefs and practices

that you want to banish anyone who is different
to an island out of the way?

It is a long distance from where
you really belong is a DISASTER!
