3 poems || Felino A. Soriano

from a wearing of light

Awakening among a solid view toward isolated memories

i.

          to the ghost’s wandering:

my hearing wears a mask to record

unseeable breaths

                            finding way within throats

                                 and gardens tomorrow will respond in with legacy:

hankering hands

     woven

     wearing my watching around waist and waiting emblems: trust: token

shadows falling

mirror-toting death, abstracted synonyms profiling death

as

does law toward skin of certain __________, subtracted

ii.

Nobody worries.  Taut spectrums hide within verbatim

recollections.  My rise is maxed     was a more so

ontology of putting paper onto wounds and directing

behavior to undergo illusion.

                                             Relevance is undergoing relapse.  Judge

                                        -ment means analogies are connecting vari

                                        -ous returns, and I’ve become a problem fo

                                        -r analyzing mathematics.  Subtracting, cu

                                        -rrent-though-bored each human need is a

                                        -lways adding and insinuating need.

iii.

i remember blinking: death’s slimiest hand

     stole all

grandparents’ virtues and totality of breath

                                                                  —in the one-corner of a lefthanded house, piano stills in paused correlation    and

rhythms relax within open mouthed echoes

oscillating room to speak space                  and confirm bodies

once belonged to a genetic fluctuation

         

Park skeleton philosophy

beside me                                         ,

                                                          your length is

loud;    speed against struggling slow

                                                         ness

or with an orange tongue to which my ease is erased and alert is the body

building strength across what pivots in mind and aggregated need to inhale

ataraxis

When realizing is a form of alternate identity

stating to a mother

           I attempt     is a privilege of     reconciling annual mistakes

     her asking to ascertain

          is akin to the rock’s inner

               belly being rolled and caressed

     by noon’s 2^nd fastest moving

          honorary hand

               escaping a sole dirt

aggravation translating language to plateau at prosper

                    rather than positional insistence at negative conditioning and

proprietary devotion to forgetting the body’s ornamental faculty
