Penetrate me, Kali
Move through my every pore Consume me in thy fire Until I am no more. Melt down my skins of iron That shield me from my wounds Break my bones of falsehoods That would support me to my ruin. Break my chains of reason That tie me to my pain Kick out the excuses from under me That I lean on for a cane. Leave me empty, Kali A vessel to be filled Leave me broken and battered A body to be healed Then come again, Kali Move through my every pore Mold me in thy likeness Fuse strength into my core Teach me ways of healing My people’s broken souls Teach me ways of freedom Courage to walk through man’s hot coals. Destroying for creating Transforming old to new Kali Ma, Dark Mother I live my life for you. Written July 1989, when I was 18. What was I thinking?
