Felino A. Soriano- Three Poems

from Espials

58

beyond where wind

bends

                        at the wandering waist

            walking

its alabaster hands among dust and diligent fulcrums

of returning

                                    hopping leaves, spirals of

orange intertwine bodies

blue or blue/green

pronunciation

pertaining to perspective’s angled interpretation—

                                                                lists form

·         intuitive formations
·         found selections of
·         or finished nouns

whirling within paradigms

shaping with orchestrating

notions

                                                    nuance dissolves amid this water’s

beginning crawl

push-slow

fascination with

recalling devotion of breeze’s

fundamental figuration

59

running as do fumes’

verticality of mirrors

sensed and serene or

saddened when an

isolation transpires

tardiness of totality

is verbal in the context

of waiting’s deliberative

observation

60

artistry of the fly

unnoticed

                         continued aerial

caprices

catapulting rejuvenated                        solace

watching as

waiting wanderers wander

within subliminal contracts

their prosodic eyes

sign into mis

fortune of future’s elongated trickery
