muddy boots | Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

Indifference
is not an easy disposition for me.

But laborious
tedious tasks
feeds my nature
for completion.

When you give,
those that believe
it’s their right to take;
weaves you
into a doormat
for the sole of their
muddy boots.

Indifference is indeed
an interesting
disposition
for me.

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm, the blogger, poet, and translator, was born in 1971 in Phu Nhuan, Saigon, Vietnam. The pharmacist currently lives and works in Western Sydney, Australia.

There's magic in translating a body of work from one language to another.
