Chessboard

In a cold room in the basement,

Empty green beer bottles on the table,

One untidy bed,

Few furniture.


I stand in a nearly naked black dress, barefoot, 

Feeling the cold seep from the ground into my feet, 

Settling in my bones 

And walks on my skin like white ants.


The floor resembles a chessboard, 

With white and black squares 

But with only one single piece. 


When I step forward, 

I move the only piece here, 

I play with the piece that is me,

And I always win.

But what does winning mean without the possibility of losing?
