The end of Andhak

This is a part of 'project 110, going back and re-filling', writing is happening 8ish months after the date.

Viscous blood poured
from Andhaka's breast
into the skull the Goddess held,
and as she, Chamunda, sippied it,
her body kept ripening into redness
even as he was changing in himself,
while with her fingers she was rapidlycrushing his clones, the seeds sprouting
out of his male power
in a constant stream.

His blood was boiling
in the trident's flumes
and then, all at once,
he was all ashes.
The gods and demons stared
in wonder. Nothing was left
of that demon's form except
light penetrating the body
of the god who bear's the crescent moon.
