Досье CL: So, how are we to play? (aka Lamentations…)

So, how are we to play?

…

Remembering the passage of time:

loss,

and lost,

flow and stagnation,

obscured reflection,

water in a dirty ditch.

…

The Chess set has fairly nice pieces,

but the board is so worn,

and I can’t forgive the missing pawn.
