Vậy là bạn đã thấy
dưới lớp trang điểm
lớp kem nền lem luốc
tàn nhang
nụ cười
tiếng cười rộn ràng
bạn đã thấy
tôi là một quả cầu trong một cái hộp
lăn lộn răng rắc nứt mẻ
tan vỡ khi tôi đã
nhìn thấy bạn.
so you saw
behind the makeup
smeared foundation
those freckles
beyond the smile
beyond the thrilling laughter
you saw
I’m an orb in a box
rolling rattling splintering
shattered when I
saw you.
