Deep and Dark

Vosges Chocolates, Chicago


goddesses personified. 
they whisper on my tongue’s tip. 
their sole purpose 
decadence and enticement.


Ambrosia. Absinthe, Naga, Wink of the Rabbit, Red Fire, Black Pearl…

i dance with them deliriously

one after another.

Buddhist cosmology tells of Trāyastriśa, or the Heaven of Thirty-Three gods, which rule over the human realm.  This weekend Trifecta asks for exactly 33 of our own words about a god of our own devising that shares heaven with the other thirty-two gods.  Chocolate, deep and dark, is one of my earthly gods.
