Felino Soriano

Awfulness

T
he child wrote his dream
his dream a terror filled phase
of short lived life across
awakened swiftness, body
thrown forward
a shifting fly atop white air,
on fire the necessity
spoke of past in which
desire never transpired.
Safety now a bitter
translation
called into where
callous diversity sits atop
buildings of the narrowest
shelter.
