Siva calls —

speaks the Fire of Loving Destruction.

The Phoenix becomes flame.

Siva calls —

His voice hollowing out the I of I.

The Phoenix becomes ash.

Siva calls —

There is nothing but the Nothingness of Siva.

The Phoenix becomes emptiness.

Siva calls —

It is time to dance the living.

The Phoenix becomes song.

Siva calls —

Siva answers.
