Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm | This coldest winter’s eve (73)

This coldest winter’s eve
I carried thee in my heart
Thee a broken shattered shell
Soul shining in moonlight

Dumbo

By Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

This coldest winter’s eve
I carried thee in my palms
Thy skin the chill of steel
Eyes collecting the light of night

This coldest winter’s eve
I carried thee in my heart
Thee a broken shattered shell
Soul shining in moonlight

This coldest winter’s eve
I carried thee in my mind
And the stars be unworthy
Thy existence by my side.

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