from Espials by Felino Soriano


from Espials

often                                                    mistakes
cannot                                                 recall
how the                                               ankle
breaks                                                  becoming
fragrance                                             from the
mouth’s                                               vocal
wind                                                    wandering
toward the                                           guidelines of
healing                         ,                       wholly

meditative acronyms
in the spelling of nuanced                    understanding
                                                each
                                                                        stare/absorbs-stares
                        wandering, an eye
recalls an institutionalized watching/waiting
spectrum, delving then into formulating tear, its sear, strong, syllabic,
broken
down
            by altering emotional content, the text in isolated versions of spoken embarrassments
not yet
wilted or
by-then written the improvised living becomes cliché
sostenuto
within hands and their lined delineation
yours, theirs, ours, thus
subjective in the carrying of closed-eye
preparedness

I cannot recall the number
etched by early-breathing crows (a burn                     a eupnoeic reactionary rhythm)
                                                            their
numeric
            un
-order
                                    speckled speaking, turntable high speed
inventions

thus

now

or when-now     isolates into solitary folds of inward innovation

I lean into a silent shout
my body’s lexicon
shortened by varied pages
and

or now-and                             realization                     burgeons hybrid analogies

one/two or more
than the pluralized invention
entails
            similar
syncing
            within the enclave of crows’ leaving my memory
