Three Poems by Felino A. Soriano

from Forms, migrating

IX

                   —after Hiroshi Sugito’s painting Untitled

Rain, with implementation of dual

purposes insist and inspire

has begun its whispering

weight loss, ascending

upon bantam modular

convictions.  What knows

its visit well, a ballad of believing

parental guidance or

the pressuring example

of scold and terrible indentation—

either cannot become or

as one has instructed silence

within the growth such green

permeates within the eyes’ good

palms and restructuring inventions to

examine what builds into life and its

mobile aggregations, unfiltered.

X

                   —after Ömer Uluҫ’s painting A Figure, a Bird, a Dog

idling . . .

initiating |__________|

this

trio

satirizing

socializing’s          (media)

                             closeness

                             amid

         

                             watching (laughter, the epitome of observation’s emblems)

                                                                                      with pocketed voices obtaining spatial paradigms

—of regard toward diagrams of believing

connection can/should or-will

behave as the bending contoured salutations of  remembering when hands

wore warmth in the connectivity of searching

and what has become unidentified

controls

                                                                                                truancy

                                                                    toward timeline

accuracy

                             and where blurry bullet points

condemn

the architecture                       of educating silence’s theory of voice =ling remembering intuition’s tissue-thin                       inclusions

XI

                   —after Linda Lynch’s drawing Linen Drawing, I

with trajectory of asymmetries

                                       balance cultivates ontological realm-specific

genre aptitudes

                                                          twirling of the running’s demeanor ↓

                                                                                                           ←

→                          ribbon ↓

unfastening

                                        →                                 smoke

                                                                                                unwinding ↓

                   →                          laughter

                                                unbalancing

                                                                                       and with these

gatherings of disparate particles

what plunges does not provide death in the manmade articulation of samesize enunciation                    ,                             instead italicizes and devotes

numerous angles of interpretation’s obligations as

mobile incisions                                                   not-harm sufficient

but the role  of renewal in the worded oscillations of discovery’s neoteric

brands of language’s intrepid illumination
