Three Poems by Felino A. Soriano

from antiphonies & spectrums

 

 

 

research

 

through these trees’ splayed fingers

?frozen? loose, —(perhaps winter-causational)

disconnected windows

rename ability’s purview, the vertical body

bends in the slight slouch of the toddler’s

drawing s, the base, oldest, gnarled

or oil-brown, either within the parallel of

succinct connoted experiential language—

 

distance draws a disclaimer: notice-or

disdain a memory’s focal fixation into

rage or indifferent ambulation: understood . . .

 

I enjoy the light’s normal procedure: ongoing—

entertaining spectrums of engaged angular

syntax, in the aspect of serenade these whispers

introduce eventual echoes’ access to fade—

 

within this noon of reactive reading, this repeat

of days’ rituals and ongoing plagiarizing of

focus on maintaining balance, thought or

meander move within, within

wander-thinking, sketching

characteristics of light and

fragmentary tonalities

 

 

upon recognizing

 

when watching, glances open-though slim as empty

homes whose corporeal experience

rise

of/from wings and adolescent circumferences of

emotional

mishandlings ————

 

                                     ————errors sharpen, shape-arrow

wrong-timeframe

aim

purity of idea

wanders

lost-from identity misinterpretation, the centripetal moveme(a)nt

ranges, reddened flame compositional music

the centipede’s legs ignite among

a synonym toward unrecognized

scent-though

beautiful in the contextual

pattern of range and somewhat

subconscious

believability

 

 

parallel as fixation

 

a multiplying motive spans itself:

cannot its version, this/now

interpretation — the language’s

fulcrum invites, incites what

excels within a watching version of

motivated simplicity, exceeding

virtue as rest, or visitation as

corporeal manifestation, rejoice

then when time’s verbal praise

relaxes muscular tendencies, and

the purity of comprised permissions

persuades within the action of

particular interactions
