sparrow
Bryan Amerila Apr 2016
should a sparrow sing
its apology every time
its neighbor retrieves
a bone of horror
interred on
its nest?

Untitled
Bryan Amerila Jul 2016
I walked towards the sun
and realized,
I am the sun.

The day started with a night,
and the moon
at sun's grasp.

The night ran with the sun,
and I waited,
and was lost.

Offerings
Bryan Amerila May 2016
The Man offers his son
instead of lamb
for Him.

The Woman offers to man
serpent's laughter
for all.

The Child offers the man
marries the woman
for himself.

The Man offers his daughters
instead of salt
for them.

The Woman offers her child
adds two men
for all.

The Child offers his brother
not salt, not lamb
for himself.

Peace be with you,
Peace be with you.

Greed

Alone, butterfly
flutters on sea of nectar.
Abdomen full, bursts.

Tree
Bryan Amerila May 2016
From the tree you curse
Came your cross

While I looked for your
burning bush, forbidden

Tree was found.

hide-and-seek
Bryan Amerila Apr 2016
A children's game:
One tries to find--
everyone that hides.

Silence
Bryan Amerila May 2016
Sitting by my window
I see the grasses grow
The sun in hiding tells
It's my silence that feeds

Them.
