imagining your beauty before me

at last your cool nutritive form squishes these closed places apart

your inner riches

falling before the ready seeker

dreaming to return to you

dying to wake up in your heavenly bone-crushing embrace

how will this I know it has died by your mercy

by what weapon will this clever head find itself lobbed off

if these eyes have wept their final tear

if this pounding chest has longed after its last heartache of separation

your glory will be revealed to this well-worn husk

yearning



Ma Ma Kali...Ma

take from me all that is not free..

Durga Ma Kali Ma..

darkness like the night..

burning eyes of light..

Oh have mercy on me Ma.
