consoling solitude | Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

The hunger grows impatient
Cravings passing conscience
Obsession beyond moral sense
In moonlight only you!
I reached for a glimmer of self,
Any dignity left to confine,
Just consoling solitude.

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.
