Historical Valentine 2

What are the chances
you could be a dwarf-
hunchbacked-puppeteer-
master-chess-player-
Turkish-illusionist
who must win at all costs
and I could sit down
at your table the past
with its hankerings
for resurrection among
the stakes in that green
room of the chronicle
you claim to have redeemed
from all indifference and pain
