Syntax Issue 10
Denver Syntax
{sonnet #14}
  zach fishel



against the pencil skirt and
Audrey Hepburn
hips, fingers slipped
and tasted what it                      is to
grip. Tight knit knuckles
out of tune               break a hymn like
a buzz saw in the singing
tides of an eclipse
of lips and romanticism.
                     Fuck a poet and watch
your thighs chaff and shriek
in ecstasy
            to be broken like a
bell in a burned down church.
