I AM ENOUGH | Nguyễn Thị Phương trâm

Bạn tóc dài tóc ngắn
bàng bạc màu ánh nắng

bay dần dần
cái đuôi của thời gian
miên man
mê hoặc
những ngày
yêu

ôi ngu
những khoảnh khắc
mãi mãi dại
làm gì bạn cũng đại

yêu mà
yêu thôi
yêu hôm nay
giờ phút này

yêu gì?
ma?
trai?
gái?

sao nổi?
nếu bạn
không yêu tôi.
