Nguyen Thi Thanh Binh _________________________________ Unending season · Translated by Nguyen Ngoc Bich Like a
corolla, you drink the
dewdrops that
fall from a field of darkness as night
washes all over you The wind
rises and swells stiff
the arteries of the universe and the
wilderness is
filled with the smell of grass as I
melt into you The day
melts in the sun the road
melts after the tree shades bubbles
melt after the ships in their wake and snow
ice cream melts on the winter lips while I
melt into your stream Like the
sedge and reeds of memory you blow
desultorily on me a point
of fire from
yesteryear Like
leaves wrapping around a flower we hold
each other in a season
endless.
