A poem in Vietnamese by Lê Vĩnh Tài
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
On fire
he pulled me up against his body
my heart bled
softly
and gently
he kept touching it
until upon death
I am alive…

–
chàng kéo em lên để chống lại cơ thể của chàng
trên lửa
trái tim em chảy máu
êm
và mềm
chàng cứ chạm vào
cho đến khi em
chết đi sống lại…

I had the “69” like of this post, and I thought that was hilarious considering the subject of the piece
