Totoo, ni Roberto T. Añonuevo

Totoo

Roberto T. Añonuevo

Nananatili itong malamig
at depende sa iyong ibig
ay magiging plastik o banig.
Itinutulak ng bibig
at dibdib mo ang kinakabig,
nakapapasò rin kapag ligalig
ka, at ang loob ay umaapaw
o nagsasayelong sanaw.
Hipuin ito at mapupukaw.
Himasin ito at matutunaw
na parang halimaw,
habang ang iyong tanaw
ay naglalaro
mulang lalim hanggang rabáw
nang lampas sa init ng araw.
