CHESS

The battle-piece, Fortune!
Underlaid Inexpressiveness
tossed in its book-bed
longing for some devoted & sought hand

--liveliest of the engineers
of Destiny: determination
peers into th'expressionless cradle
of cold attraction,

settles th'burlesque
of all harsh expectancy,
upsetting th'planned sweat
of a rehearsed Defeat.
