Kairos of Kali Ma

Written By Rachelle Edwards

Dark and alluring, she stands in my third eye—

foot extended, with ankle turned to form

the corner of a right angle;

this is the omnipresent beginning.

With the fluent bend of her knee, she steps,

creating the first fold in time,

her arms take many forms, moving

in and out, assembling a knot

as she enters and reenters the ego, ever-

arriving, ascending the lattice of herself.

She is the Fourth, devourer of Kronos

and every expanse—where I end, she dances.
