Toxic

                 Palden Lhamo, Terrifying Protector Aspect of Goddess Tara 

 

Toxic masculinity. Toxic femininity.

Toxic blame. Toxic forgiveness.

Toxic Christianity. Toxic Buddhism.

Toxic angels. Toxic whores.

Toxic capitalism. Toxic socialism.

Toxic mind. Toxic body.

Toxic the woke. Toxic the enlightened.

Toxic Jesus. Toxic Krishna.

Toxic the compost

that nourishes new life.

Toxic the afterbirth
that feeds the imbecilic loam.

I am toxic. Thou art toxic.

We have infected each other.

Even our garbage is woke.

Even our garbage is made of

pure consciousness.

Every toxic substance is composed

of that which is pure.
All is toxic and all is pure.

Nothing is poison.

When I penetrate the toxin of your gaze

I see only the demon of your beauty,

Palden Lhamo, Kali Ma.

Sacred the placenta. Holy the mulch. 

Holy the broken grail and blood spots

on linoleum.

The Goddess of detritus.

The Goddess of cheese.

The Goddess of manure.

The Goddess of menorrhagia.

The Goddess of wine.

Entanglement.

Doom of roses.

Rot.
