Circles and butterflies

Honey bees and the night sky
Dark chocolate and curly fries
Green grapes and lots of spice

Wine fine in earthenware
Winter breeze and the Sun’s hot stare
Nonsensical pleasures dare
Without you there.

(Happy birthday to my favourite living poet)

Bươm bướm và những vòng luân hồi

Trời đầy sao và những chú ong bồi hồi
Sôcôla đen đắng khoai tây chiên ăn chơi
Những trái nho xanh giòn và hương vị đời

Rượu vang vàng và chát
Nắng ấm áp và gió mát
Những thú vui vô nghĩa đói và khát
Khi ta nhớ đến bạn, ta lại hát
