Felino A. Soriano - One Poem

Jazzy Savannah

                             —after Mary Judkins’ photograph

light

           leans

from the oscillating good lips of morning’s

open            hands

heard

           or

                                                           expanded into

range of hanging limbs

these trees are talking

tall from the imprint of royal dispositions

&

through angular syllables of

this movement’s collocated fathoms

eye into varied eye

captures & contains

language of a southern

penetration, in which

noon is the context of

day’s element of holy

affirmations
