A poem in Vietnamese by Vũ Hoàng Thư
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
Art: Đinh Trường Chinh

---

the end of the rambling 

carried by daylight

–

awakening 

the scent of the rocky 

embankment of yesteryear 

–

returning in waves crashing 

an untitled melody

–

the echoes of a wild season

dusk upon a foreign land

–

–          

cuối cuộc rong

          ánh ngày đưa

hưng phấn dậy 

          bờ đá xưa sóng về

vỗ reo âm bản không đề

mùa hoang sơ vọng

chiều quê quán người
