Syntax Issue 10
Denver Syntax
{bongos}
  kat sanchez



Sometimes
when I
am manic I
am full of
red
bricks
full of
screaming yell-
ow suns
a night
sky which
is made
of the same
kind of rock
that fossils

the heart in-
side
my body
is a
bongo
drum
stone
wash
bongo
jeans
with a
button
fly

kayla says
I go
bongos

maybe I
do

but in
my drum
circle
there is
a lot
of hip-
shaking
and what
is more
fun than
that

the night
gets hot
and waxy
while so
many
suns sun-
stroke

bricks get
loose
search

party
mega-
phone

I put my
hands
into
a danger-
ous crevice

make a little
knot of light
