Shiva the board-game cheat

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

With a hundred winks
the god who bears the crescent moon
silences her smiling, witty friends
as he slides his men across the board,
counting wrongly,
skipping squares
to trick the goddess in the deep
and crooked games he plays to win
a tight embrace.
