jerlyn eguia Poems

papa died when i was 12
and mama remarried after a year
grandma sent me to school
and i did the best i can
...

as i turn on the light
of the kitchen last night
two cockroaches
were caught in the
...

except for her being flawless
(as she claims to be one)
there is no other flaw
that i can see. I think somehow,
...

the sun bends down
kisses the green rice fields
black birds fly away
like dust on the face of day
...

if in my life
love does not come
and it ennui
happens to pass by
...

at the last hour
you face a wall
it is not even a glass
where you can see
...

take back the staff
to stabilize yourself
on a broken hip
you cannot walk
...

the green rice fields stretch
and expand
in kilometers
...

if, to keep this love going,
i, must concoct all the sweet lies,
and you must weave
all the fantasies,
...

10.

i am broken
shattered
and i am trying to pick up
the pieces,
...

be with me
just be with me
keep the truths
inside
...

the legs are scratched
the arms detached
the hair burnt
the body is deformed
...

we transferred finally to another house
beside a rice field
just along the muddy road leading
to the small town
...

i wish i can be free
from where i am chained
i wish i can find you
my love
...

imagine me tonight
alone in my room
writing a letter,
...

when the wind blows
it blows where it wills
just like the sun shining
on all the places of its heart
...

good morning
yesterday, i am back
to face you again
and you are happy
...

missing the fog
the woman with black veils
put some cotton in her eyes
now widowed
...

when i am drunk
i will write a poem
on a piece of tissue
paper and i will
...

when frightened i take the comfort
of the whistle as i go to the room
and wear a red dress instead of the
usual blue one...
