Syntax Issue 10
Denver Syntax
{fevered silvery nook}
  kelsey bowe


What can wildly own you,
or truly yoke you to any solid surface
here on Earth?
Oozing honey, you slip from your chains,
but the blue tongues of the brushfire
lick and spit at your unpossessing
void, and fill your already overfed
underworld, and each little death is
your harvesting.
