She let her angels and demons
churn the murky waters in her
to get the right words
to save her
Her sleepless eyes awoke
with the happiness
that she was afraid
to have the audacity to feel
Her Mohini
was just starting to
seduce her demons away;
When
the RahuKetu
of somebody's something better
swallowed the first few droplets
of the elixir restoring her
A cold dark gaping void
replaced her Meru
and shrieked in the faces of her gods,
rendering them forever mortal!
References taken from the story of 'Samudra-Manthan' where the Gods and Demons used Mount Meru to churn the Milky Way or the Ocean of Milk, in order to get 'amrut' or elixir. They wrapped the snake 'Vasuki' around the mountain and churned. When the elixir came, the demons snatched it. So Vishnu donned his incarnation of the seductress Mohini and lured it away from them. However, the demon Rahuketu disguised as a God, sat among the gods and drank some of the elixir.
