(Những con tắc kè) | Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

Ta thèm chi mùa xuân
ta đã chín mùa hè
nóng trong lòng mùa thu
đu đưa rồi với tuyết.

Ta cần gì phải nhè,
đúng không? (Những con tắc kè)

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

  1. This poem made me smile quietly.

    Moving through seasons without pleading with them feels both playful and wise—as if the speaker has learned that time doesn’t need convincing.

    That last line lingers like a shrug with experience behind it. Light, but not careless.
