A poem in Vietnamese by Lê Vĩnh Tài

Let me draw a room to hold the scent of you
If the walls could talk
Let them talk
Of how I would hold tight the billow of your breath…

Hãy để tôi vẽ căn phòng với mùi hương của bạn
Nếu những bức tường có thể nói chuyện
Hãy để chúng nói
Rằng tôi đã giữ chặt hơi thở của bạn như thế nào…
