Immemorial Beginning

The time you suggest

Is beyond my memory

But not out of reach

Every time prepared

Like a restless wanderer

I've prepared the board

Is your load lightened

By me imagining this?

If so, then I shall.

Turn by turn reversed

Until every one is claimed

Then our game begins

For this is simple

Not without pain, but simple

Elegant, perhaps

A Man steals it all

All without apology

Leaving |you| nothing

Then acts as the game

Reminding you of one name

In background static

Am I called your prize?

I never had this in mind

But see the value
