the rainmaker – người làm mưa | Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

Người làm mưa
không ai muốn làm người tình của chàng

họ mơ
họ được làm vợ
của người làm thơ

những người đàn bà tuyệt vời
những nàng con yêu của trời
cao thấp ngời ngợi

xếp hàng
đẫm lệ vì chàng
đã

Vỡ ra mưa ấm

“Hằng và Thạnh” by Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

The rainmaker
no one wants to be his lover
they all want to be his wife

they line up
these beautiful women
short tall
small
all

the tearful women
soaked through

under the warm rain
