She follows you everywhere
to inscribe your whimsical life
on a crisp page of time;
and in silence,
she chants her unending incantations
to hypnotize your splintery present
with an elated, inevitable reminiscence.

Exactly 33 words for Trifecta Challenge , this week.
What Trifecta asked : “Buddhist cosmology tells of Trāyastriṃśa, or the Heaven of Thirty-Three gods, which rule over the human realm. This weekend we’re asking for exactly 33 of your own words about a god of your own devising that shares heaven with the other thirty-two gods. Make it yours and have fun with it.”
