3 poems || Felino A. Soriano


 
silences

of the paradox’s model
            crave counting moments
 of past figurative enhancements the
untangling of necessary hankerings
counted

                                                            as if by doubling examples of
the mouth’s rotating diction

dictating in the verb of its calibrated function


smile

curl the contoured aperture
read

run

ratifying

aggregated harm becomes aspects of a summer’s oblong
breath
                        hanging
                                                humidity of squat and memory:

photograph
involves the entailing of cycles

reactive                        trickery             the notion envelopes



truancy

physical hilarity in the expecting of others’

delineated

hoping

prose poem || Edward Nichols

          I see further than I do, protest the fetus. Television in the womb so he's properly propagandized.Nazi flicks of the switch boarded canopy reclusion.Kurt Cobains still alive. Worms burrow holes through my brain proving I'm
already dead.Non-emotive emotional side is coming out,desperafe tears make little mud puddles on the floor.Shudder shutter the diabolical me shadowing my soul.No derision,nothing serious,it's always been with me.
          Sugary respites of carnival candy dance around my head.I see further thanI do.But whats close up is so far away,Lotus flowers lotus position invites meditation.The closer I get,the farther away it goes, must be eternity.
I've spent an eternity in my head ang I want out.
        Cornishes vesticles bauchianate the laruses of integrated oreckes in the clown paint of a manic mime. Ferthes proacheetes the daudles of junicles newrething the time of a clock with no hands reuthesianating the contingrncies of hammered dirt clods, mesmerizing the lizard with a metronome clicking clicking at sub atomic speeds. Inclnations ruimburse the closure of tehdoor in the roof and the windows and the windows with no glass panes. The great bottled water jug filled from a river of toxic water.
           Juasinian reichian proclivities pouring the regurgitation of mankind into its city streets. Reeking of false promises and lies that pass for truth, the recountng of the money always comes out short.  

poem || Lewis Gesner


From poem Uvula Modex in progress

Sixty ossify
In the waistband find the choke wire. Here they thought a fatal hold. Sanctity of correction. Obsessive variation begins as instructions to the scales. To walk in fair rounds is a scolding to the humility of the first presence. Alive rounds of newness, pressed to folds the metalworker creased into the aluminum sheet. You can see it, jutting from the wall. It began inside a frame. Then a single person changed it, ever. How done can be composed, degree. More increments packed with elements itching to combine across their boundaries. Layers differently composed gel when approached by nature retract, conceive each other forms the pits and pots we know. That’s a scale. The prime mover in a page the underwire scratched across the plain. Apple crates and grates respond to designate them function. A season for hooks, fly-like, thin and barbed, on transparent nylon thread, in a turmoil. The black and white of a fifties science fiction movie, having been spliced several times, even using pieces of amber half developed thirty five millimeter slide film as patches, there, the sense of that. Atmosphere designate, dry afternoon, sharpened sunlight through a cool shell on the earth. These are limits and tropes. Buried some ancient what-to-bes. Ending is the middle state while many readjust to preambles. The divination of the straddled wood or fallen cake.
