A poem in Vietnamese by Sấu Mã
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
The journeys listless
After this journey be others still
The mountainous avalanche journeys
Stop packing
The deep had to yawn
Fine you may bite
I am not leaving.

RA ĐI
Thẫn thờ những cuộc ra đi
Sau ra đi này còn ra đi nữa
Những ra đi núi lở
Ngừng xếp hành trang
Vực sâu đã ngáp
Ừ cho mày đớp
Mình không ra đi.
