Syntax Issue 10
Denver Syntax
{into the slit of vision}
  william flewelling


This flip flop toe
set to the floor,
the sole from sole
displaced, the foot
suspended up
in place, the ankle
left bare: a slight
impending grace
articulates
by poise a lilt
of concentrated
intention. Here
fair form in white
(a subtle cream
in lively shades)
approximates
the ballerina’s
particulate
ascent in pose.
