The board is a slow country.

The board is a slow country.
He has crossed every square.
A rook waits like a grandson.
A pawn stands at the edge of war.
He could lift this hand for hours.
Checkmate is not the point.
The iron bench has learned his breathing.
The trees remember every rain.
He knows the oldest lesson.
A king who moves too fast has already fallen.

man that caption hit me right in the chest. my grandpa used to play chess in the park every single day and he had this look when he'd move a piece... like he was seeing something nobody else could. the line about the iron bench learning his breathing... yeah. you captured that perfectly. 6 days ago
