Felino A. Soriano- Three Poems

from Oscillating Echoes

23

     ballad

of

                             night's graying /

silence of

                                                         day's continuous ambition

/ of what contorts in deliberate           function             this delving fabrication /

                   onward praise tomorrow's insinuation of

antiquated fulcrums, of rust

each hinge of incident

transfers an illness

into the hybrid beginning

nuance of developing appraisal of

sustained alteration

24

soon, as when death forgets you.  I've created

reductions to include space for adding what

reconfigured my past hallucinations.  certainty

is what the speaker dissolves in the prior fulcrum

of hand-in warmth evaporating with silence's

operatic tonal affirmations.

25

there are mirrors

exacting position

     the body portends it

     sustains a satirical standard                                                           believes its

serial changes include alteration to the system of syllables' exterior architecture;

of what hides also

intervenes with whom hides

from the diligence of annual confirmation of age's

intricate performance, adulation of sustained misleading invention
