Three Poems by Felino A. Soriano


from Of isolated limning
 
  
amid a searching
 
in this dress code of summer
skin wears lessened fabric ated
forays              in(to)ward
display-case substance the trophy
never tarnished, exposes
fingered printed u-turn
methodological
returns
 
and
 
the being of noted experimentation
sidenotes soliloquies of stubborn
enhancements                                        these
in the melody of searching
toward exiled affirmations
or brevity in the language
of improvised wings
 
 
 
watching as the butterfly performs
 
formalities here
                         fell
long-from identifying freedom
and the predetermined misuses of age and
adage
 
                                    this version of space
-expectation, existence, distance
 
I hear the blue black speckles decorate
contoured aspects of courage
 
                                                            wings these
lavender waves toward the watching of my
open-mouthed exhalations, untainted
 
 
 
delineated angles this odonate
 
swelled the swollen ring
 
                        halo ontology
                        flame in the blued momentum
                        figurative, pre-, though slim halls are
walking into widening varied interest
                                                                         the
blur resembles foreign syllables
in the hover of waiting for
language to conceal uncontrollable
virtues
