3 poems || Felino A. Soriano

from antiphonies & spectrums

toward stability

earliness is isolation

           a gift of openness, improvised

routine the language of self rewrites

the

           contours of

                                   silhouetted shape, contextual mirage of reaching for

sensation

onto tongue or

from tongue of

hanker’s eventual

purpose

                                                                    the

                                                     aggregation of timelines

needn’t desire full awakening

or altered space to retrieve

desire from prior days’ ongoing

pauses

               pulses

thus

persuasion

interrogates the twirling seconds enveloping personal

affirmations amid morning’s elevated

meaning

with wandering the hand must collocate connections

answering sedentary calls of calligraphy

each rendition of ink

lodged or longing                              (either, specific)

looking into sustained contours

the

riddle of spare space

onlooking wanting to engage

with more so the body than

bodiless connections hiding

within syllables’ vacuum

of insincere silences

autotype

the butterfly drums in strumming methodologies

                           the plural                                            imposes

                                                                       plagiarized material

as

                    the subsequent

sedentary

                                                           watchers might/ or-will

return

to the stringless dances of unoccupied

deliveries of articulating angles

                                       with wing-on neon juxtaposition with a January

rhythm of moving-toward-an-attempt-at-staying insulated

the mimesis is evidentiary, purposeful

uncontrolled adulation in the echoing entirety of an alphabetical

arsenal of hoping

toward emblems . . .
