  For Susan

  Stairy, stairy height…
  Paint your chessboard white and gray
  Look out on a summer’s day
  With eyes that see the darkness in pro chess.
  Shadows on the boards
  Sketch the games and scorecards
  Torn into small tiny shards
  Behind a smile hiding your duress.

  Now I understand…
  What you tried to say to me
  How you suffered for your charity
  How you tried to set them free
  They would not listen…they did not know how
  Perhaps they’ll listen now

  Stairy stairy height
  Flaming words that brightly blaze
  Vows to raise long forgotten days
  Reflect in Susan’s brilliant eyes of blue…
  Patterns deftly cast
  More new solvers posed at last
  Your purpose now, your future past
  All poised to show chess a better day.

  For they could not love you
  But still your love is true
  And if no hope be left inside
  On that stairy, stairy height
  You’ll lose your oath as lovers often do
  But I could have told you Susan
  That chess was never meant for one as…
  beautiful as you

  Stairy stairy height
  Grandeur lost in empty halls
  Wasted moves on nameless walls
  With eyes that watch the world and can’t forget
  Like the players that you’ve met
  The struggling pros in ragged clothes
  The last game lost, the forgotten moves
  Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

  Now I think I know…
  What . . . .you tried to say to me
  How you suffered for your clarity
  How you tried to set them free
  They would not listen. . . .they’re not listening still
  …
  Perhaps they never will
