In her meteoric trail Armoured demons shatter A coagulum of legs and arms Dissolving in the splatter All their forward lines Bend like acquiescent curves No more ballast in their brains To stiffen withered nerves When Durga's avatar takes form The whirling dervish swerves
From the formless void She grows cutting fingers Scrawling cryptic ciphers Where curdled augurs linger Her stone fossil talons Tear a windless sail Her hair unbound sends forth Comets in a hail Argonauts and flyers Perish in her gale
