__________________________________________
a poem by LU QUYNH translated by N. Saomai Evening in Tan Dinh(for Dinh Cuong)Evening in Tan Dinh, red flamboyant drowning in sadness colored red the arid
seasonal wind, red my eyes. The glass of red wine, in my hand, was filled with nostalgia It was dusk--the dusk that fell onto your canvas. Lit a cigarette, sat without a companion, here I was: one glass for me. And one glass empty. The cigarette in my mouth, I felt it tasteless. Wisps of smoke were wandering, haltingly. In the pub of
bougainvillea indistinct Taking a sip of dying sunlight in the empty glass. � The Writers Post &
