Worshipper Of Goddess Kali Poem by SRIRANJI ARATISANKAR

Yagu uncle is worshipper of Goddess Kali
Staying in a temple by the side of a river
absorbed in meditation,
wind, cremation ground, and solitude
listen his Tantra and Hymn.

Bela a garland-maker
Sometimes visits the temple
and helps Yagu uncle;

One day a few attendants at funeral saw
Bela coming out from the temple fully naked
holding a blood-anointed scimitar in one hand
And hanging the cut-off head of Yagu Uncle
with the other hand..

Her eyes flaring up as firewood of pyre..
