Felino Soriano: Three Poems from Of variant rhythms

night as pain or expanded musical infatuation

purpling of plurals: night, each-varied piano solo meander

                    each

voltage of montaged momentum

                              each

arrival of dancing                     diagrams              dangle

splatter (the of-beautiful-though rendition of paint-from

the artist’s intentional             abstraction of delegated remembering or fathoms

from-memory or

mnemonics’

version of grasp of ideals!)

& with every notion wrapped into the palm of these moments’ elongated functions,

                                       freedoms

expose what silence

holds hard or

what silence held in a softened irony

mentioning within modules a serial designation of moving music

what comes resembles a purpose of onward recollection

onlooking does not proceed toward what the body cannot hold

nor does its presence precede what closure contains in the context of silent holding

then, of each hand and rotating purposes

present, upon grasp and intelligent manifestations

a wholeness of warmth from palm and palm-configurations

a lending to what one needs to examine each syllable

from/of tongue and the desire to engage with momentum’s

sometimes desirous knowledge to move

           intuitive to soldered memories

against patina and diligence of time’s circumvolving

conformations

  

Of figuring into such excitement

what resuscitates proclaims

diversion from a death

-near where walking awoke

from the darkened forensics

dedicated to obtain facts or

fundamental mores into

which notion does not

mention failures or fade-in|out

predicaments; the spectral

collaboration divides as

does an hour’s arrive/abscond

narrative, whole in which the hand

holds and decides, — . . .
