Decide what all I need
To enjoy you
Need I remember
The shlokas I learned
By rote
The poojas
From my great grandmother’s
knee
Need I cook for You
With pure cow’s milk ghee
Pluck flowers made by You
To worship You?
Need I
really need I,
This body of mine
This heart
This mind
The deep space inside
Called Soul?
You are complete, enough
For me to adore You
Yank me in you quickly, Kali.
