One poem by Karen Neuberg<br />

within the motion of time<br />

--in tribute to <strong>Felino</strong> A <strong>Soriano</strong><br />

It’s all true <br />

though it appears<br />

to proceed dislocated<br />

from the linear.<br />

Such brave marches across<br />

marsh & magnet, weaving<br />

migrating patterns<br />

into murmurations<br />

into the ear into measures<br />

of what matters within matters<br />

exterior, or interior, <br />

or both<br />

so that I want <br />

to spread my hands across<br />

the page of words as if touching<br />

will allow me another way<br />

to take them into me, into <br />

that place in me where they will turn, <br />

burn from themselves and float <br />

beside my own, speaking <br />

blazing encouraging fires <br />

emanating from the continuous <br />

now & ever.<br />

Karen writes:<br />

I'd been reacquainting myself with some of <strong>Felino</strong>'s poetry and remembering<br />

how much I like it. This is a poem I wrote in response to the power and<br />

innovation of his poetry.
