"death
check
passed pawn
on the fifth
listen the flag drops
the pawn phalanx goosesteps upboard
the escape square catches the rank and file of last breaths
time and sound suddenly deadlock's unforeseen pawn en passant swallow hard your heart's hole"

"one of the things I like best is writing ahead into the faked-up present instant of a narrative that isn't there yet, the barely-imagined item--so intense, so tiring, so similar to being alive
fiction as navigational anxiety"
