“…In this mode, much of the work, for me, has involved what Keating terms "listening with raw openness" 38 , which was accompanied by a new understanding of silence as a transformative, and healing practice 39 . It has also required the deployment of what Chela Sandoval terms "differential consciousness" 40 which requires the shattering of a "unitary self" 41 , that is to say, the conception of the self as a linear, progressive continuity. This shattering of self is to be translated as an opening, not a closing, or a destructive breakage.…”

Prayers to Kāli is an invocation of the radical-sacred as a way into decolonization, liberation, and healing. The radical-sacred, as I conceive of it, is broadly to do with the work of retrieving our spiritual dimensions as an inextricable part of queer, and decolonial futurities. The construction and performance of decolonial, queer-feminist theory, and knowledge discourses as fundamentally located in communities of coalition, new modes of resistance and cosmologies, form the theoretical foil of this paper. The broader aim of the paper is to highlight the significance of spiritual, corporeal, and emotional knowledges in the work of decoloniality and dismantling systems of oppression. I locate this exploration within the narrative specifics of contemporary spirit-poetry from Tamil Nadu; a radical, border site where these connections and dimensions of decoloniality, gender, desire, and resistance play out.
