May iniisip ka?
Oo.
Ano?
Ayaw kong sabihin. Baka magkatotoo.
Dahil makulit ka
Kilala kita. Oo, ikaw 'yun: Nagkasalubong na tayo minsan, sa LRT, sa Gotohan, sa kanto ng Aurora at Katipunan. Nagkatinginan tayo. Hindi mo ako kinausap, pero alam ko, nakilala mo rin ako. Kaya ka narito, di ba? Para sabihing, Oo, oo, ikaw nga 'yun. Naaalala kita.

On the Necessity of Sadness
Tuesday, September 16, 2008
Let me tell you about longing. Let me presume that I have something new to say about it, that this room, naked, its walls pining for clocks, has something new to say about absence. Somewhere the crunch of an apple, fading sunflowers on a quilt, a window looking out to a landscape with a single tree. And you sitting under it. Let go, said you to me in a dream, but by the time the wind carried your voice to me, I was already walking through the yawning door, towards the small, necessary sadnesses of waking. I wish I could hold you now, but that is a line that has no place in a poem, like the swollen sheen of the moon tonight, or the word absence, or you, or longing. Let me tell you about longing. In a distant country two lovers are on a bench, and pigeons, unafraid, are perching beside them. She places a hand on his knee and says, say to me the truest thing you can. I am closing my eyes now. You are far away.
hindi suntok, e. iba. parang... nananakal. parang ganun, pero hindi, kasi nasa loob ng leeg yung sakit. alam mo yun? parang biglang ang hirap lumunok dahil may namumuong holen sa lalamunan mo, pero pipilitin mong lumunok kasi hindi ka makahinga, tapos mapapaluha ka pero mapipigilan mo yung paglabas ng luha (kasi maraming tao sa paligid). yun. ganon. kaya masakit sa panga.
aba't mabenta talaga ang mga love poem, ano? anon: sige, pero irerevise ko muna. hapit sa trabaho, e, walang panahong mag-revise. brandz: salamat, p're. actually 'yung isang linya e nakuha ko ang ideya mula sa usapan natin ukol sa "namamagang buwan." kita-kits sa biyernes, hopefully, kung di ako masyadong lagari sa trabaho.
ang sakit naman nito sa panga :|
