Drunk on dhak

Been playing it all day, Ma
I know you just left us
I know it is inauspicious to call you back

I have no blue lotus eyes to offer you
Only my tiny body, whole and strong, as your steed
I can be your tigress
I have as much heart as the male lion you usually choose

I call on you, Ma
Choose me
I am ready to fight
With compassion
And when that does not work
With a cold hard swipe of my paw
