Kalindar
I Am Black Kali of the Calendar,
Keeper of Time,
Goddess of those
who count their days holy,
whose bodies are altars, shrines,
whose bodies change
in endless cycles of fertility.
You are missing in action,
lost in trance in My dark moon embrace
three dancing, bloody days
each menstrual month.
Fertilized by My dark,
emerge Whole,
return triumphant,
pregnant with light.
