Lê Vĩnh Tài | when poetry ignites (79)

don’t hesitate
like blood poetry bleeds
through the valves
a soft quivering sound
at a level
no one bothers to hear…

By Lê Vĩnh Tài, translated by Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
when poetry ignites
don’t hesitate

like bloodpoetry bleeds
through the valves
a soft quivering sound
at a level
no one (bothers to) hear…
______
khi thơ bốc cháy…
đừng gầm gừ
thơ như máu chảy
qua các van tim
tạo nên một âm thanh run nhẹ
tới mức
không ai nghe…

By Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

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