| The Self Reflects, Aims © Felino Soriano You wait until the whisper completes its massage of your hankering ears, feathers turning twirls inside the rudiment of innate senses. Set into sailing, ambulation talks rhythms into sedentary naturalists, the echo can be seen trotting in circles where the points of exact and prophecy intertwine like fingers of lovers embracing the cuticles and u-turn prints. The back of you is darkened. Attached to a distance the feet can never attain, such cruelty builds layers of thorns, of reversible intentions only reliable through death. A familiar door opens. Things objectively relate to where you left them, yet this home is splayed from childhood and the pilgrimage into now. Breathing in scents rising from the eyes of the watching stilled, you know now you are home, home as in the body your whispering past talked you into receiving. Felino Soriano (California) is a philosophy student and case manager working with developmentally and physically disabled adults. He is the author of a chapbook "Exhibits Require Understanding Open Eyes" (Trainwreck Press, 2008) and an e-book "Among the Interrogated" (BlazeVOX [books], 2008). Two chapbooks are also forthcoming "Abstract Appearance Reaching Toward the Absolute" (Trainwreck Press, 2008) and "Feeling Through Mirages (Shadow Archer Press, 2008). The juxtaposition of his philosophical studies with his love of classic and avant-garde jazz explains his poetic stimulation. Website: www.felinosoriano.com |
