After The Bombing Incident

AFTER the bombing incident last night
at the church of San Pedro
tiny shreds of flesh hang on the walls
and ceiling of the confinement.

the cries are not prolonged except the
sounds of ambulance
and the military jeeps
to and fro the city gates

sleep was denied, and then that early morning
i opened the window
i saw this little blue bird perched on the guava tree
it was singing a very sad song beside a bunch
of ripe guava fruits.
