Soccer Olympia: From Grounds Of Snow Appeared A Queen Poem by Alfredo Ivan Alvarez

From grounds of snow appeared a queen
in golden motives kicking a chocolate ball
leaving a silky aurora coral pastel trail
vanishing behind her.

A royal consort of noble lionesses
forever made her companion
disposed in tactic to the geometry
of a fractal's dissemination
stemming from the chocolate:
snow flake.

Ahead, in the dry woods
a team of wicked witches
defended the murky ground
suspended on broomsticks
upon a treacherous swampy soil.

The queen began
to kick forward the ball
leaving her footprints
over the snow.

Passed it to her teammates,
so every time a lioness received it,
it was bestowed with the
physical image of the queen,
and she to the witches
was meant to be given
the poisonous apple.

At midway, spaces became tight;
lionesses were furiously marked
by somber virulent witches
and other dreadful sorrows.

Abandoning black mantle and broomstick
in front of the queen stood
an opponent sorcerer
conceiving the old trick of the mirror
in which she repeated
the movements of the royalty.

In darkness swayed the mud.

The queen went to her left
and found her reflection in front,
intended to move to the right,
but the odd imitating mirror
was resolved in blocking her.

Feigned again quickly to her left
but broke her body to the right
divesting herself from cape
on a new diagonal wearing a skirt.

The belligerent witch was left
mimicking a soulless mantle -
and when it fell bodyless to the grass
she knew she had been derided.

Two meters behind her, the queen
was running with a high torch
among the darkness
and a garland in her head.
