Felino A. Soriano


from antiphonies & spectrums

continuity

cyclic circumstances engage with
modes of modular infatuations: expect the 
                                          child to
relocate spatial tendencies upon
environments’ plasticized 
nuances
                    those with predicated hope
of undulated memories—
                                       they’ve returned ( see?, in the fathom of recycling a designated description . . . )
depicting tonal infatuations with time’s varied and/or voluptuous
precisions, the inaccuracies curate jubilant selves in
the deceiving of didactic response-system salutations
welcoming as noon does daily, developing
hands of up-reaching 
              angles
balancing style and the architecture of personal
                                                                           affiliation, whole




synesthesia   

I saw flavor and introduced a silent
reaction, reaction as tonal 
comfort or simile of reconstructed
petition: in the hanker of alteration a
mode of experiential thinking collects
and appropriates a spinning span of
local vocabularies, —underlining sequence as
intuitive prose, more than prayer toward
connectivity of gray and the ceiling 
the landscape’s repair becoming
absent

blurs, the bend of them

reflectional dance
dance this devotion
toward speech and the word
less insistence of watching
wings, aerial fulcrum (
invite/welcome
)
and the fingers these
fingers un-flail yes/no
yes: relaxation paradigm of the ballad’s unwind

no: flame neath this participatory inkling, engaged, engaged

of bass—

vertical dancers                       their dangle speaking intimate
                                  connectivity, /collaboration, spatial
to the eyes’
verbal impromptu miracles of watching 
movement, an echo
writes a lyrical endeavor
maneuvering within corridors of
closed-eye concentration with
light awakening amid a
darkened exclamation of
rest’s needed paradigm and
with the slenderness of
sly interpretation, what wanders
never weakens, never 
abridges into fractioned
plurals of abhorrent 
connotations

of drums—

ice crackle bridge
to otherness, an oracle of
ornate definitional differentia: sound or
syllables of sound reshape
predefined aspects of happenstance and
rhythmic splays of instrumentation, the off-hand
still is strong, sings an octave lower
precedes methods as truth as trust
when ricochets skip from silence
the rudimentary affirmation aligns
in the fathom of moveable serenades

the tiredness of cultivation’s obese

a moment expands into illusion

electronic fade of solvent misdirection,

intuition and rejuvenation’s nomadic acclimation
