Thanh Binh _________________________________ Unending season · Translated by Nguyen Ngoc Bich Like
a corolla, you drink the
dewdrops that
fall from a field of darkness as
night washes all over you The
wind rises and swells stiff
the arteries of the universe and
the wilderness is
filled with the smell of grass as
I melt into you The
day melts in the sun the
road melts after the tree shades bubbles
melt after the ships in their wake and
snow ice cream melts on the winter lips while
I melt into your stream Like
the sedge and reeds of memory you
blow desultorily on me a
point of fire from
yesteryear Like
leaves wrapping around a flower we
hold each other in a
season endless.
