"To behold the beauty you must behold the terrifying." -Parvathi Nanda Nath
Ma slyly pulling threads
undoing me
it was her own fabric
the pattern she wove me into
is now the one that dissolves
I walk on each thread
like a tightrope
Today I suffered at another's suffering.
I can't quite get this
the pain inflicted on an innocent
and after all that
"this dog loves people"
How?! How?!
and I want to take everyone in my lap
and crush them with this sadness
until they break open.
I laugh at this image
human pinatas
"whack!"
out spills the demons
"whack!"
out spills the moralities, the hurts, the pride
"whack, whack, whack!"
and we all dance
and sing mariachi
softness permeates the loft this afternoon
curry wafting
cats sleeping
and the simpleness of it all
consoles me.
every night, I will come meet you Ma.
I will open my heart for your Dance
and drink of your nectar
Tear me open to the terrible
just to behold your beauty
self-preservation cast aside
an unnecessary veil to your touch
Sit with Shiva for eternity
Sit with Shiva for eternity
Sit with Shiva for eternity
Sit with Shiva for eternity......................
