A poem in Vietnamese by Vũ Hoàng Thư
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
Art: Đinh Trường Chinh
the end of the rambling
carried by daylight
awakening
the scent of the rocky
embankment of yesteryear
returning in waves crashing
an untitled melody
the echoes of a wild season
dusk upon a foreign land
*** 𝓬𝓾ộ𝓬 𝓻𝓸𝓷𝓰

cuối cuộc rong
ánh ngày đưa
hưng phấn dậy
bờ đá xưa sóng về
vỗ reo âm bản không đề
mùa hoang sơ vọng
chiều quê quán người
