poems || Felino A. Soriano

While

contours allow a dispelling disposition

we’ve imported structure of dusk’s achromatic meander;

too

            of desolation incurred by the silence the self

performs amid

structural scolding

                                                lack ascertains— together

oscillation of hold/held

renames into grasp’s culture of

w(hile)itholding levitation’s spatial curves the

same curvature of voice calling

                        the

eyed voice to whisper up

then the moon undresses into bare turquoise of radial

                                                                        examination

While

the voice examines its subtle murmur

alte(recove)red from

the yelling rendition of heat’s argumentative

architecture…

combining sequential silence the

tongue expands as echoed numerals

elongate into passive symptoms sleep involves in

sustained believability

While

brevity believes

...incorporated swallow, tonal the

            construct developed as whole

                        sustained

            apparitions

the

                                                larger body though

                                    secretive in its fractioned death

verbal fright escapes etching font of fear into forehead of

shortened existence, recalled

While

entrusting articulating marriage

vows

become

                        circular enunciation, the verb of smile

                        penetrating solid function of rings’

enveloping

                                    aggregated purpose

While

memorizing call of trumpet’s elongated echo

as theory Miles’ allocation “Don't play what's there, play what's not there.”

            restructuring purposeful encapsulation                       the

tributary notion of listening that extra focus

within mobile dexterity:

hear

a

bouquet

become

overt salutation this music welcomes as existential

                                                                                                replication
