And the morning is as cold as the century | Nguyễn Quý

And the morning is as cold as the century
The tiny hairs stood up in attention, quivering
Naked, because clothes are not an option
The clothes as they were, abandoned on the side of the mountain
In the darkness of a drunken night.

(December 2021)

Và buổi sáng lạnh lùng như thế kỷ
Những sợi lông ngơ ngác đứng run run
Không mặc áo bởi vì không có áo
Vì hôm qua say rượu bỏ trên đồi.
