4 poems by Felino A. Soriano

"Painters’ Exhalations 623
—after Beo Nguyen’s The Philosopher"



He
isolates in delineated function,
the naked from geometric abstraction

talking to summary of intelligent salvation. Answer

answer

the tongue’s cohesive hankering.

Said to himself

“I do not understand the language of my neighbor,
but understand the vertical veracity
my hand-held yoyo
posits into a realm of
personal separation from time,
time.


"Painters’ Exhalations 624
—after Mike Massengale’s Out of the Darkness"



Her strumming harmony
attacks
with winged liberation
ground-summary
erases
upon
uttered failed deconstruction.
Her
instrument
vocalizes seismic
comprehension
sliding the blonde hair
of Autumn’s nearing-end.

Listen,
her
construct
the personal concept
imagination
struggles
until
life within horizontal
movement

ignites first words
into summarizing
most-inner
contours.


"Painters’ Exhalations 625
—after Sue Duda’s Crazy Fingers"



With elaboration
the birthed is often
subliminal.

We’ll anticipate
vertical curves’
concrete expansion

we’ll analyze

pound
pound
pound echoes
humming
remorse for inexact narration
tongue
misquotes with adequate ease.

Fingers, the curled
tone of constant reverberating hail,
admit
to the watching fortune



jazz
is the constant mirage
glazing the eye with unobstructed

rapture.


"Painters’ Exhalations 626
—after Donald Maier’s Backyard and Birdhouses"



Because quiet
is the best suited body
to sit within embrace of white,
plastic
outdoor chairs, and the roaming beneath
feet with cataract sight
can roam within glare of green’s slanted grass,
sectioning rooms
of the yard’s most elegant,
dilapidated region.
