[Poem] Last Man Standing (Hikaru no Go)

Aug 01, 2009 20:37

Title: Last Man Standing
Words/Rating: 48 words / G
Author's Notes: Written for hng_deathmatch and first posted here. My first ever piece of fan-poetry. O_o


Alone at last
His rival has fallen
The other galaxy torn
Sundered, rent
Black fragments drowning in his white.

He stares at his hand
Unfamiliar--familiar
Long-missed
Holding a folding fan.

(This should have been yours.)

He smiles across the board
His heart clenching in opposition

They bow.

I remain irrepressibly pleased that this little 48-word poem gave my opponent a run for her money. A 1-vote loss? I'm surprisingly all right with it. ♥
