Felino A. Soriano


from Of isolated limning

early, then movement becomes

surge this                 isolated leap from rest’s stagnant
                  responsibilities

an after —habitual fleeing into home or homemade articulation of warming

—hands rewiring methods’ 
organic 
   space                 a sphere locates entrance from the exiting syllables and

authentic alphabet reflections apply amid
morning’s onset and vivid                          glaze of purpled deepened contours, a
calligraphic

speech welcomes and warns     though early, night’s walking hover, soon

and again the
                      hand
initiates wander
promising view and listening as automatic virtues of music’s incorporated vantage,

unimpeded


clarity

interchanging images
youth or the prior

increasing momentum
an extracted virtue of

improvised angles, their
range and spectral systems

open into the hand whose
calefacient function

fixates into a gazing emblem
watched by the eyed 

liaison, cultural seamless
achromatic indentations


of music

introverted paradigms

     shift(shame)less             arbitrary fulcrum             reactive premise tethered

the language of rhythms
orates into exhaled

lines and
             angled
physiology:

      of
momentum
                        creased by the pressure of name to overwhelm status’ impulsion to 
produce



                                         symbols incorporate heard emblems     hearsay and the ears
needed 
resuscitating 
virtue

renaming aligned 
fractions, whole-though legends
spiritual encasing these

sounds incorporate into predetermined
                     echoed
pulsing pluralities
