Kali Ma

Deep dark all encompassing blackness

does not occur in the night

it occurs at seancés

and in hypnagogic sleep

in the womb

in trance

on my canvas

It is this blackness that provides eyes

for the subconscious

images swirling,

animals biting,

plants morphing

yum

I am not a person on your canvas, Kali Ma

I am a fetus in your womb, and only if you say so

Help, I’m alive

and what does it mean?

Control rises as a rod up the spine

mechanical movements

rules

bones break

I forget I’m water

spinal fluid

flow

ovarian speak

power

stand on the ground to command the earth

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Kali Ma, Kali Ma

May I bow,

release control for your blackness to emerge

to be able to see
