When I’m under | Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm [78]

Tiêm thuốc mê và bóng tối

Anh là ký ức
Những giọt mồ hôi
Mặn và ánh nắng trên môi

Cánh cửa đóng
Em còn ngóng
Không nữa.

Anh
Đừng đi
Please

Ở lại với em
trong bóng tối.

When I’m under

The moment I’m in the darkness
The memory of you
The sunlight on my brows
The salt

I’m to come
to the closure of you
scents of the breeze
the ease
you
walking through
my door.

I must
must I
let you be
by me

In the dark.
