5 poems by Felino Soriano

Approbations 242
—after Anthony Braxton’s Four in One



Solid
like colored partition
delineating preference within dispositional
attribution; * : understanding

eye, the esurient interpreter
foundling sadness comparable persuasion
where among faceless followers,
mother, father? |displayed| mirrors of
DNA finality.
Various slants
of the eventual embracing
shifting
shapes on reticent plateaus, curating
analogies of life and distance, combining
collocational devices, act/reenact
turmoil dissolves
whereas perfection,
inexistence.


Approbations 243
—after John Coltrane’s Mr. Syms



Man of elder comprehension, reasons
with dialectical promise, problem
-solve variants
mathematic veracity, misunderstood
straight-lined desires.
Without
wife now, third of a decade’s 10th anniversary

cries

her masticated name into the winds hollow,
fascinated listening.


Approbations 244
after Roy Hargrove Quintet’s Never Let Me Go



Worn, sound-thin, whispered
found
woven introspection
with
viable reconnection, tissue, virtue, apostolate
secondary inspiration. Near
gnarled growths on
an oak’s misshapen exterior, breeze
bends
into
notches of contemporary noise
resonating between syllables of silent articulation,
stay
stay
the moment retracts into unfolded time of willing moments, hoping
to repeat therapeutic conversations among ensuing sun-risings,
copacetic hoping of all-angled speculation.


Approbations 245
—after Christian Scott’s Re:



Current
spike in ignorant postulations:
|erased existence
cannot delve into reverted warranties, the multidevoted
wanderings|
—catastrophes, these
—soon awakening into breadths of hopeless tongues’
irreconcilable burials.


Approbations 246
—after Joe Lovano’s Left Behind



Spirit’s mantra
stuttering chants
like a dragging chain’s painful clang
tripping break
against the whipping cold
of concrete’s hardened, ambidextrous
hands.

Symptoms
of a saddened sense of vocal calling forward,
unheard realism
a not yet shape of ideological rust,
darkened edges of prose’s skeletal slack
bringing forth singular, undetermined
methods.
