the dark thoughts

Follow these and be amazed….

A poem in Vietnamese by Lê Vĩnh Tài

Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

1.

I’m aware of the path you have chosen

in the sudden rain

.

I’m aware of the secrets

communicated in your eyes

.

you are wise and sad

through all your

dark thoughts

2.

your eyes darken when it comes to me

I don’t know if you love me

or not

.

but our shadows

shall eventually move on

like the passing years

beyond death

.

like how I will

one day die

3.

perhaps in heaven

the green path on the way up shall widen

.

time will move on

there like the leaves and we will fly

if we can’t surpass it, we will die

you’re aware that if I’m unaware

then you shall simply pass by

.

we can’t have a wedding

we are both adulterers
