2 Poems by Felino A. Soriano

facilitation

of open                        hands

                        flex in the sleeping aggregations of achromatic

devotion

                                                            hands enter gauge of spectral warmth then

                                                deliver

as do smiles’ proprietary

devotion to

                                                                                    exhale oval embraces

Of road in the neighboring silence

restructured celluloid enables

prose of paused enigmas…

                                                                        either of the each rendition of throat/spectral speech

                                                                                    (as does the terminal approach

                                    to

            confiding mathematics: inward into self’s composite interaction²) spoken

contamination is the years’ prior focus:

alone this

silent pathway

            this

diameter of temporal thrust, of the questioning immanent relay, again

the subjective cannot commune among second trusting travelling

                        therefore reconfiguring

analogies enter                                                road of sacred road:

desire among echoes and intertwined

reactions

[Author's note: These poems are from my ongoing collection entitled Of these voices.]
