A poem in Vietnamese by Niê A Dũng
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
Gulping the last drop of the season in consolation
Night leaning into a light sleep
Burnt the secret code
As the day long desolation danced
Just so

Đêm thấy mình trần trụi
Tự vấn an cơn nấc cạn hao mùa
Đêm nghiêng giấc thoảng
Cháy mật ngôn
Khi hoang vắng ngày đêm vần vũ
Chốc dạ
