Approbations 449—after Mal Waldron’s Nervous

Felino Soriano

Deportation my
silence erupts
                                    anti
innate, cloistered closure
my tongue aptly denies
 charring
commentary, collocated
ending rivalry with reflectional
depictions of mind’s wandering
unaccepted glory.
                                    Démodé                      moments
those of temporal
constants
deceiving modes of a life’s
unlived hitherto, inebriating
slurs of rhythmic devotion
my doorknocker knees
clash and destroy
ambulation’s
                                                pivotal enjoyment.
