Syntax Issue 10
Denver Syntax
{resultant}
  adam fieled


Creaks of memories,
I had to be coherent
to myself, imagery
thick as marsh all
around me,

mental operations
cocked with cordite
in my mouth, time
bandits, buffoons
drowned me,

no dream-maiden
came to dissolve
me free from
black twists of
red candy—

I had to write
because continuance
is trickle-down
economics of
the soul—

which means that
I can't leave my
room if I haven't
already left it
full-mooned—

all this mayn't
be resultant—
