Tornado Child by Kwame Dawes

I am a tornado child. 

         I come like a swirl of black and darken up your day; 

         I whip it all into my womb, lift you and your things, 

         carry you to where you've never been, and maybe, 

         if I feel good, I might bring you back, all warm and scared, 

         heart humming wild like a bird after early sudden flight. 

 I am a tornado child. 

         I tremble at the elements. When thunder rolls my womb 

         trembles, remembering the tweak of contractions 

         that tightened to a wail when my mother pushed me out 

         into the black of a tornado night. 

 I am a tornado child, 

         you can tell us from far, by the crazy of our hair; 

         couldn't tame it if we tried. Even now I tie a bandanna 

         to silence the din of anarchy in these coir-thick plaits. 

 I am a tornado child 

         born in the whirl of clouds; the center crumbled, 

         then I came. My lovers know the blast of my chaotic giving; 

         they tremble at the whip of my supple thighs; 

         you cross me at your peril, I swallow light 

         when the warm of anger lashes me into a spin, 

         the pine trees bend to me swept in my gyrations. 

 I am a tornado child. 

         When the spirit takes my head, I hurtle into the vacuum 

         of white sheets billowing and paint a swirl of color, 

         streaked with my many songs.

There is no point treating a depressed person as though she were just feeling sad, saying, 'There now, hang on, you'll get over it.' Sadness is more or less like a head cold- with patience, it passes. Depression is like cancer.

“Fairy rings also occupy a prominent place in European folklore as the location of gateways into elfin kingdoms, or places where elves gather and dance. According to the folklore, a fairy ring appears when a fairy, pixie, or elf appears. It will disappear without trace in less than five days, but if an observer waits for the elf to return to the ring, he may be able to capture it." —Wikipedia

Although sometimes described as beautiful, the Dark Goddess Kali is said to be as gruesome as her deeds. By the looks of it, her deeds are frighteningly fierce.
