Syntax Issue 10
Denver Syntax
{sanctuary}
  micah olin



For the precious sake
of his sorrowful Passion,
I am lost. These places.

I puke a bit much so
I mainline Ginger~Ale.
I am a bit much.

Then the chills shoot
majestically through
my hoody & I, airborne,

have the sniffles & read
Spideyman as sunbeams cut
across my abdomen on the pew.

Also in a place like that,
everywhere we are, it’s too
hard not to be beautiful.
