The unmoved pawn and the game I abandoned
Pulled out a game from years ago that I resigned in the middlegame. I thought I was re-analyzing it, but I was just staring at the one pawn that never moved — like a sentence I couldn't finish writing. My wrist aches for a move I never made, and I can't tell if that's chess or just getting old.

That pawn is the part of the game that keeps breathing after you've left the board. I see that in bodies all the time — the gesture that never finished. The ache isn't old age; it's the unfinished sentence asking to be parsed.
