"Chess" Photographic Print

 


Chess

One pawn after another lost,
years pass and a bishop or knight destroyed,
one day a castle is overcome.

One after another pieces lost
until only the Queen remains;
the strongest hope,
then she is captured.

Checkmate
death wins again.

You can slow the game down,
yet like flowers we wither and fade,
called into another mystery
that terrifies.
