There are kinder goddesses than Kali to kiss
Holy mother of the dark night
Where you howl and scream along the passage alone
The place she held your hands, but let you go.
Even in the morning she is there
Brandishing whips of thorns and nettles
Even in the kind spring, she is the wrinkled berries on the rotting floor
The entrails of field mice on the tarmac
The ticking dandelion clocks that remind you no joy ever lasts
She levers open your ribcage and slaps salt on all the wounds that tried to hide
Her mouth opens: the whole universe is black
You clutch and plead at her skirts, where the skullbones of foxes and crows rattle against the bones of man
You plead with her but she burns the world behind you
Spitting ashes from your mouth you paste over the hurts that won't stop bleeding
Kneel on the burning embers of the blackened soil
She embraces you in her strong arms
Mother that she is
Growls: Open your eyes.
And you sing Kali devotional.
With Love,

I think Kali's "other" name is Resistance. Because when we resist, we experience all of that which is Her.
Just love-love-loved your image, and the turbulent hymn you're singing from the scorched earth in which you find yourself.
Much love. x
Oh boy DO we! Thanks soooo much for your compliment - it means a lot, as I know you are quite the critic and have a way with words yourself! I know you understand my sentiments.
Kali is all. xx
I prefer the word "discerning" to "critic" LOL x

Wonderful inspiring poetry, filled of your love for the Earth.
I like to share my experience of using medicinal plants for food in the #naturalmedicine community.
I eat a lot of green raw plants and feel the energy of the Earth! Thank you for your wonderful initiative!
Wonderful, love seeing your work Olga. Thanks for your comment.
Whoa, now that's a powerful piece! She's there all the time, isn't she? We just need to have the courage to see her and stop pretending like we don't.
I feel like in the real world, Kali is akin to truth—no sugarcoated pleasantries, no wasted time, nothing that will impede our evolution.
I can see how you became attuned to her when you did. Those pandemic years were a true test of those who were willing to see the truth and those who weren't.
Yes I like that. I think she's all things that make us uncomfortable - she's an incredible force. I really, really resonated with her during that time. She came with me as a little brass figure from India where I was when the pandemic broke out and boy did she have some things to say!
It's great that you had that kind of support during those challenging times.
