Igloria May 28 | When I was child, I played
with chesspieces but out of order,
not heeding rules or design.
I skirted around the bishop, laid
the rounded head of a pawn
in the bowl at the castle's top.
The horses were only horses'
heads, so I could not bridle
them or take them for a canter.
Slender king, dangerous queen,
walking the edges of a checkered
field beyond which forests
breathed, and the patient
tongues of the sea waited. | | | |
