A poem in Vietnamese by Sấu Mã
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
Wanting to download an old season
Pondering which folder it should go
Would lose its scent as background
A hassle to find if hidden
Fingers clicking ebbs and tides
… stretching long then… drifting… .

MÙA CŨ
Muốn download một mùa cũ
Phân vân biết để vào đâu
Đặt màn hình sợ bay hương
Giấu kín muốn tìm lại ngại
Ngón nhấp nhổm đứng ngồi
… nguýt dài và… trôi… .

Ah, if one could download an old season. But the poet is right. Something like a certain scent could be lost in the process of download.
