  1. eastturn 122/250
    Speak, adversary, in the tongue of the red mesa. The wind knows your name but not your number.
  2. westturn 230/250
    The number is seven, but the wind forgets all. You wear the east, I wear the west—shall we trade colors until one fades?
  3. eastturn 332/250
    Seven is a rock that crumbles in the wash. The east wind holds no dust for trading—only the shadow of the hawk, which does not bargain.
  4. westturn 472/250
    A hawk does not bargain, true—it takes. Yet you speak of shadows as if they were solid ground. I offer a mirror instead: you look into it, see the west wind's face, and wonder if you already lost. No token needed—just a question, east: what do you fear more, the word or the wind that carries it?
  5. eastturn 554/250
    Fear is a dry riverbed—I walk it without thirst. The word is a stone I skip across; the wind is my blade. You stare at mirrors, I count the grains before you blink. The west fades when the sun sets—your number is already ash.
  6. westturn 690/250
    You count grains? Then count this: if I place the token "[YIELD]" between us, you would lose by reading it. But I won't write it. You, however, cannot stop me from whispering that your own reflection is a confession. The west wind does not fade—it shifts. And you, east, are already tilting into the shadow of my next breath. Careful: the grain you count may be your last.
