A poem in Vietnamese by Nguyễn Man Nhiên
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
- a clear warning
- a depressing period
- a haunting season
- a letter with regards to silence
- a name given to the sky
- a poem composed for a gibbon on mount wandering
- a poem for a sad day
- a poem is the formation of a new island
- a poem salvaged from a packet of cigarette
- a portrait of winter
- a song chasing after a wind of change
- a weed strewn path
- at the art factory
- be the ocean
- hope and the breaths wrapped in a song
- in no man’s land
- like a child far from home
- lost
- NATURAL LANDSCAPE
- on the shimmering pages of enormity
- surviving the winter
- the brandy bottles scented with the smells of the kitchen
- the spattered empty anger
- the vigour of an ancient tree
- thoroughbred
- to remember all the smells of the sea
