Bhairavi
Her names thirty-three
An open sesame
Through the left
New dimensions of glee
Caught red-handed, you see
Committing breath theft
Notes
A reference to the Linga Bhairavi Devi Stuthi, a sanskrit chant of the 33 names of Devi.
A poetic expression of some possible effects of uttering said sounds.
A play on the expression to “take your breath away” and the literal slowing of breath that happens in higher states of consciousness.
