If You Could Fly, Would You?

How warm the land against your feet,
how reassuring?

How many skies retract
your inventory of floor layering?

A felt-tipped diagnostic changes
how you were to how you are.

Whatever water is embraced by
the imaginary branches.

Look from the picture window at what qualifies
as an automatic, fleeting photograph.

How will you keep it?
How will you keep still?

How will you avoid keeping still?

Felino Soriano's Apperceptions of Reinterpretations

Felino Soriano's Apperceptions of Reinterpretations is now available as a free download from Calliope Nerve Media.

"Felino Soriano's language scans each scene through the keen eye of an eagle. Ekphrastic interpretations in a sea between updraft and whitecap. Our guide into this gallery is the real artist. Articulate. Elegant as mirrors by candlelight. Each painting, like fledglings being pushed out of the nest; all the down has been plucked away, only the sharpness remains. They'll nudge you, lead you to the edge; teach you how to fly." --Joseph R. Trombatore (author Screaming at Adam, Pushcart nominee)

Read it.

Love it.

Tell your friends.

Read more of Felino's work at the Calliope Nerve archive.

22 issue

Ow stop that
Not like that
It’s hurting
So we stopped
One day
When we’re old
Honey remember when?
Honey will be
Dead but
His cocking dick
Knows what
It will tell all
The chicks
It’ll squabble
Over the feed
Peck their nipples
Bone sting
Bite sugar
Rock candy ‘til ill
I took two
The next day
I said
I’m going to
At least
Get high
Off my
Rapist boy
See you
Soon
She said
See you
In ICU
I took the
Biggest
Lollipop and
Left her
The gumball
22 issue
Number fives
And a
Pocket knife
Went to the
Nursery and
Said here
Take my
Baby girl
She’s sick
Sugar coma
Puking
All on me
Ow stop that
I bruise
Easy

O Coat (Open)

retract your feelings, dowager
on average may the whip-poor-will
divide and conk

malaise is just a drop kick
of cylindrical endowment
shape me to your looks

shaped to
shift to silence
commas me (encomium)

all silk no bad
all chad
no milk (comedic dictaphony)

Love the last bit. Rolls right off.

Though I think 'divide and conk' has definite catchphrase potential.

thank you both for welcome responses to this piece!

I'm lovin' it Sheila. A painterly sense of form and discipline. A connection to the Renaissance, even. And the painterly composition, "coded," makes it clear you're the vessel for a kind of self-portrait. You have won some more praise from me!
