After she devours time
When her dance finishes, thereâs no sound.
The stars hang still, the oceans remember nothing, and even the gods forget their names. Shiva lies beneath her â no longer corpse, no longer consciousness â just presence.
Kali pauses. The fire fades to a soft glow on her skin. Her tongue withdraws.Her eyes close â and in that blink, the universe sighs out.
For one breath, there is only her heartbeat. And then⊠the heartbeat becomes every heartbeat. The dark becomes fertile again. Within the void, a ripple: light, form, laughter, the first cry of another creation.
She never stopped; she only changed rhythm.
