What is after all
one chess game lost
kings, queens, knights roaming
bishops blessing 64 squares
after the 6th hour of play
though night is deepening
tired, vision blurred, distracted
there is another day
hours and hours of preparation
dawn will come
another game.
note: I’m sorry I have not written any new poems. I have been watching on-line Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2022 being held in the Netherlands.I have to get up before 5 in the morning. The games start at 5.
Books I’m reading: I have been re-reading Lord of the Rings.
