To Eve: Chess Board Poem by Atef Ayadi

To Eve: Chess Board



You are the queen
only on the chess board.

The king is the king,
you can not change that in chess game.

Everything must be done
to save his damn '....' kingdom and court,
Sacrificing the queen -Anne Boleyn-
or exchanging her for lowest price
is always an option.
That is the chess game.

Now,
do you still like to be
a queen

or play
like a king?
