The Lay Of The Lost Squares

A dark, lyrical lament of a shattered chessboard—its lost pieces, forgotten truths, and the tyrants who erased them. The poem weaves together motifs of fallen queens, midwives of knowledge, sky‑riding Valkyries, reflective mirrors, and a scribe whose ink refuses to burn, calling for the restoration of the whole board and vengeance against the six erasers who broke it.
