PHAN NI TAN (ND.) ___________________________________________ two poems by PHAN NI TAN (ND.) translated by N. Saomai DECEMBER It was December now. You had been gone like the cloud, and I was here waiting. Days drifted pass the window the evening was fading on the growing moss The year was fading in your wandering path, and floating. It was December now I was here sitting, alone. The winter outside and the snow froze the love I carried. In the evening was fading the lingered scent in my soul was flying away the withered yellow ochna flower. OCHNA From the sunshine, and rain From the haze, and wind I was, with the scent wafting by, coming to the spring branches, stirring, and then blooming yellow all through March. PHAN NI TAN (ND.)
