Temple statues haunt you in dreams
Someone dancing on her husband’s body
Blood of a demon stains her tongue
A garland of severed heads hangs from her neck
To fill the themes of celebration over darkness,
Change, renewal, and freedom from patriarchal values
Books re-write several of her origin stories
The blood that made her a goddess
Cycles out of us every month
The blood that stops us to visit her temple
The blood that stops us to visit her temple
