I love this one, I like to play chess even though I suck at it. Nice poem. I like that in chess, the King trembles in fear surrounded by powerful pieces most notably the Queen. Thank you for sharing
So glad you like it, Ika, and thanks for taking the time to write a comment - it means a great deal. My chess has become very rusty - but it’s a wonderful, extraordinary game!
I’m so glad to hear this, April, especially since you’re a chess player! My own chess has become very rusty, I’m sorry to say, but since January I’ve been writing and posting up poetry regularly, at least. If you’re interested, do please consider subscribing. No pressure at all - but I’m always interested in poetry and I’d be happy to reciprocate.

I love this, thank you. My life has become only poetry and chess. I'm okay with that!

This resonated with me- provoking lots of questions about the ephemeral nature of Substack too!!
I think it will stand a few more readings.
Thank you, Ruth. And it’s lovely to hear from you!
