Two Poems - Felino A. Soriano

Recollections 34

|skipping rocks|

hand as sling

motional rubberized benefit of stretch:

decline-link or

                                    plane of hope the lever functions reverse;

forrad, foray of play

filled speed of spilling vase

                                                finger-thumb union

birth of the silken gem, skin

of spatial specks                      lit by rhythm release

: skid, scope of patterned rise descend

                        rise again

decomposing existence within liquid tomb of coalesced

                                                                        mirages

Recollections 36

|Saturday, a|

Resolution of sewing shadow, patterned gaffe

fixated hem

                                    distinguishing whole from the

                                    meander of shortened prophecies

                                    stable, un

—stable paradox romanticizing self as enough beyond 24 obsessions

staving what starves among portions’ entranced focal

numerals

                                                            staged finality, end of week’s posit of

                        explicated

unravels.
