in this sanctum
where no one enters
deity distinctly different than devotee
she dared
is it the audacity of hope?
or a star about to crash and burn
paying a hefty price
for karmas
well over five thousand years old
that was then....
reentry, this time around
permitted only
when duality truly ends in unity
just like the cosmic hermaphrodite
her residual ego
already deflated
needs to be surrendered
at the doorstep
before being permitted access
into this sanctum sanctorum of love
only then
this half circle
becomes
fully complete
