Chess
In their fearsome corner, the players rule the slow pieces.
The board delays them until dawn
in its severe field in which two colors hate each other.
Inside radiate magical rigor forms:
Homeric tower, light horse,
armed queen, last king,
oblique bishop and aggressor pawns.
When the players are gone
when time has consumed them,
certainly the rite will not have ceased.
In India, perhaps, this war was ignited
whose amphitheater is today the whole earth.
like the other, this game is infinite.
Dim King, bishop bias,
fierce Queen, direct rook and cunning pawn
on the black and white of the road
seek and wage their armed battle.
They don't know that the pointed hand
of the player governs his fate,
they do not know that an Adamantine rigor
hold his will and his journey.
Also the player is a prisoner
(the sentence belongs to Omar) from another board
of black nights and white days.
God moves the player, and the player the piece.
What god behind god the plot begins
of dust and time and sleep and agonies?
