Felino Soriano
from Espials



48

of these limits a
language holds its
circular-cold hands
wrapped in contouring
flogging hate, friction-finding
purpose against breaths of
believers whose momentum of
speech challenges interpretations 
within sound and leaps from 
necessary involvement with
outward delineated understanding


49

they arrived	                silver-singing
worshipped
	 their
patina
a purpling of expanded blues                 with black upon light's
elongated fathom of shifting
synonyms

winged in the obvious notion of halo

and their bending was a silhouette of
whispers
walking whisper
wearing wave and more so wave with
water's contouring marbles
passing through hands of these eyes'
oblong fascination


50

a darkened-dawn
            awake though figment spirals
unravel into marbled lakes
looking
                   as in the lurk of a parent's distant genius
land in proximity          guessing in syncopated halls watching		 walking
hovering upon a 
serial contour of eventful
interpretations


51

this flame hang-flies
irony in the hold of cooling hours
reliant 
                   proportional elective
size in the matter of predefined fascination
                       this
tribute of sound
 s u r g e s
pluralized meditation 
mimics

musical fragments
partial arpeggios' fingering ambitions
relocate into varied
window-paradigm decisions thus
closed 
                   in the position of this movement's
elongated spaces


52

synthetic silences: exultant song thorn-thrown
	 
acclimated tongue dispenses delusional anger
praising within permanence of ink's
interconnected similes

wearing
          precise
philosophies'
          fundamental
durations

language of risking brokenness
dissolves
in the soon of unobserved monotonies
                                                          and
range of a hand's focal examinations
recalls scents of prior touch
talking into movements' elongated
apprehension
					

53

controlled clarity
(then              as controlled can
                             predetermined
          movement
          hold with hopeful hands, queries of the unravelling
bouquets, these timetables of living            leaving
as do speckles of purpling persuasions
near the road's aging knees, the curve
of growth has slowed and the interior bend is
pronounced within italicized endeavors—
)
cannot exist
within malaise or such meaning
hidden throughout the tongue's
interpretive 	 altruistic encounters
