3 poems || Felino A. Soriano




Approbations 785
—after Archie Shepp’s Ballad for A Child

Awaken, promise. Premise
growth expected, date a calendared renewal
formulating sifting genes, ambulatory answers posing
mirages’ pressures of inundated emotion. Your
now constitutes complimented logic:

parental
hands hold and release upon age’s correctable forays
silencing
surroundings’ optimistic impacts. Distance regains
closure’s anecdotal abundance:
wrinkled memories alive organic aerial nihilistic grasp
gone by sorted priorly remade lullaby burgeon activation.


Approbations 786
—after Milt Jackson’s & John Coltrane’s Bags & Trane

we memorized diligent
alphabetic continuity note or noted rhythms/ed
classified hearsay
recorded
resemblances wind weaving handmade architecture
situational
functioning
interpretational
individualizing
mode-meander sorcery (they recalled, it)
trickery functional fata morgana
galvanize
holed into halo benevolent musical veneration


Approbations 787
—after Sonny Clark’s Cool Struttin’

Of angled coordination
gait paced rudimentary
progress—
up-near
glassed mirrors
hover-broken dialect
bridged stare_self
stimulated elsewhere
placid compromise-evoke constant
vowel of shaped mouth allegory
climax
learned inward juxtaposing otherness. Watchers redeem
faithful intellectual assertion
assonance regain exiled demeanor upon
judging affirmation them
they
the
entire cyclic population.
