4.
On the second day of spring, the families emerged
as though the times had never threatened them.
They were showing their children, yes, here's gladness still,
and look, how legible the little book of life.
The trees have rushed their flowers; it is a season of emergency.
Some compulsions, of course, had been pre-existing;
naming, for instance: Crab Apple, Redbud, Magnolia.
Someone had planted purple tulips, had imagined
the future, and here it was, arterial at dusk.
New flowers, new version of familiar long hours.
One afternoon, it hailed, great frozen handfuls
on the Callery, blossoms flushed with snow.
I took two baths and spent the daylight reading,
the hours fleeing and formless. Pleasure,
the body insists, though the mind resists that reading.
Maya C. Popa, from "Pestilence," Wound Is the Origin of Wonder (W. W. Norton & Company, 2023)

‘The Ghetto Tarot’: Haitian artists transform classic tarot deck into stunning real life scenes:
Welcome to the Ghetto Tarot, a project from award-winning documentary photographer Alice Smeets and a group of Haitian artists known as Atis Rezistans. The idea was to take the classic Rider-Waite tarot deck of 78 cards and create a photographic version of each card using settings and objects in the vibrant ghetto of Haiti.
As Smeets says, “The spirit of the Ghetto Tarot project is the inspiration to turn negative into positive while playing. The group of artists ‘Atiz Rezistans’ use trash to create art with their own visions that are a reflection of the beauty they see hidden within the waste. They are claiming the word ‘Ghetto,’ thus freeing themselves of its depreciating undertone and turning it into something beautiful.”

Finger Ring of Akhenaten and Nefertiti
New Kingdom, late 18th Dynasty, ca. 1353-1336 BC.
Petrie excavations, 1891-92.
Now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 26.7.767
This gold ring of Akhenaten and Nefertiti was found at Tell el-Amarna. The hieroglyphs may be read as an ideogram. The two seated figures are probably Akhenaten (left) and Nefertiti (right) as the deities Shu (air as indicated by the feather he holds) and Tefnut (moisture).
They were father and mother of the earth and sky, which are symbolically represented by the earth hieroglyph (below) and by the sun disk flanked by two sacred cobras (above).
