Three Poems by Felino A. Soriano

after—

            Walter Smith III

live, liven

accompanied language

past-tense, plural as grenade’s later opening

swift in sifting allegorical whispers

writing volume into

prose of the body’s

encapsulating

                                   harmonies

                                   hungry then

                                   appositional appearances

vow of the vowel

implementation I

organized entire fabrications of misused

collaborative renderings

relative to the clock’s impulsive

relegated images

concerned with legend and

arriving atop

tables of incessant

punctuality

after—

            Danny Gottlieb

serrate the chaos

serenade, searching the                       architect enables

vertical mirages as dance of the

diligent

                        unmasking

concerns self with selves’ ornamental              relaxation

                                                of noon

noon of orchestrated logos

located against etch of an hour’s incorporated

rhythms and meditating windows whose

clarity composes prose of an eye’s desire thus

driven occupation

after—

          Hein Van de Geyn

as does the hand-role

in(with) beginning corsage cultivation

delivering into taste of the eyes’ behaving smile

then does the saying of hands

building unbroken syllables or

string of silent verbs

reacting to a moment’s incorporated listening

listing embrace as elation circumference

warmth in the wave function of rise

step-descend sand miracle vanish,

presentment
