by Sivakami Velliangiri


A KALI FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF EVIL

In Madurai, women know how to use the sickle
to slash and kill. The coconut breaker
comes in handy to aim at a man’s genitals.
In Madurai household tools have initials
and blood can be traced back to families.
The females know how to knot their hair,
tuck in their sari and be a brave Meenakshi.
/Meenakshi merely dominated her Lord/
/She was not blood thirsty./


Poet Sivakami Velliangiri
