Chess In The Luxembourg Gardens Paris Poem by Stephen Brian Brady

Chess In The Luxembourg Gardens Paris

Rating: 4.0


the volunteering kings and queens
enrobe behind a chequered screen

a bishop's caught in traffic
just outside the gate
and knights whose pennons snag the branches of the trees
where hunched-backs on fold-up chairs
crouching ill at ease

pawns not up for yet another fight
dispersed to benches
in the fading winter light
