Wrong Timing*

And Ida laughed
at how my mouth looked like:
parted,
round, and slightly pouted -
forming the last syllable
of the last word
of that sentence
(which seemed like my last).
It sat in my heart
like a rusty anchor
for so long.

Until now.

Feels like the anchor didn't land
where it was supposed to

land.

*Resulta ito ng writing exercise (soon-to-be-called Lonely Fridays) kanina with Brandz, Walther, JC, Fidelis, Irae, and that other guy who is in the English staff I think. Pinasulat kami ng unang linya ng tula sa Ingles. Ang sinulat ko ay "I haven't eaten sushi." Tapos binigay namin sa tao na nasa kaliwa namin yung linya, kung ano yung maibigay sa 'yo gawan mo ng isang buong tula. Ang nagbigay ng linya sa akin ay si JC, "And Ida laughed." Hehe, ang saya ng activity. Kaya lang wala akong maisip na angkop na title. Feeling ko corny pa yung "Wrong Timing ."
