Invocation to Kali
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?
