Three Poems by Felina A. Soriano

from Quintet Dialogues
 
Of bass
 
║7║
 
tributary relocation
localized embodiment each section of bodied movement
adjusts to/of/at
 
within/almost/lyrical
 
approximations to an altered occasional slur, whispered
in the mentioning of this
upright embodiment of sound:
 
________, an exact performance valuated trusting metaphoric
 
retrieval
 
 
║8║
 
conflagrations engage in the humanized
verdict
                        burn-burn the temporal
malfunction of misused vernacular
                                                               the unsaid mistake in tandem
on(in)to within
flesh in the varied
accumulation               regarding regardless
temptation to
excel beyond
surface-deep language of the a la mode
 
 
║9║
 
summer in the exhale rendition
            weakened in the September of swollen rain|s
                         such language
induces subsequent relief
as then or when-at Winter’s untraceable feet
dissipate into twirl of the hovering ballerinas
