Felino Soriano


East of North

Cloud a
                     reminiscent ram’s horn
                          curled
                               cataract
                                              bulged of the broken cold of after-war                subsequent
                                                                            death-fold
                                                             unwound
                                                                                                          skeletal quiet
cornering such watcher’s
ornamental gape
                                                                                           as defined faith circles darkened
                skin
night provides as sheltered delusional prophesied
                                              arousing.


Foretoken

Storm outreached                                                                                                          elongated
                                              ultima                unknown vernacular end
                spatial
                                                             chaos
                                                                            splayed limbs
                                                                                                                         ruthful
electronic heat
                                              woven open mouth of humid dexterity
                               calamitous
portions italicized
neon
                purple-drum
                                                             clash of symbolic botheration
                                                                                                                         screech of screaming
movement                          a
certain announcement of commanded, collocated coercion|dissipation.


Illusionary

Peace documents the underbelly-rhythms
                stilled
quietus
                experimental
balance:
                                                                believable: momentum
                                                                                                                         cataloguing
incumbent articulations               s p r e a d
                                                                                           systems
territorial
upon distilling                hiding variants of a body’s enrolled
                                                                                                                         alphabetic
portraits.


Certainties

Volumes appear apparitional
entrance allocated bargains
cultural voices reborn
aggregates of the facsimile,
forsaken. Verbs require strain.
Concepts ascertain musical employment:
burgeoned from the temporal guides of
hallucinatory anthems.


Smoke, symptoms of gradated bodies

                               outline horizonal
configurations’
complex

                                              origin
                                                                            ornamental tones
blithe and begin
                                                             crossing
dissipated logos
                                                                                           with
                                                                                                          sedentary motives of the
précis misapprehension
