Let's Play Chess



Let's  play chess-
my king is sick, knight on leave
all right, let's forget them
and play with the pawns.
ordinary foot soldiers are vicious
you know! Don't you?

I think this Board
ought to have been a circle
like this frameless world
with seas mountains and valleys
where we would have staked
the flowers to win the stars:

This world is meant for that
where living beauty is pawned
for distant gleam of unreachables.

Make your small square
unmappable space,
widen your heart and mind
make all space your love embrace.
