By Lê Vĩnh Tài, translated by Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
Who are you
with your eyes suddenly cracked open
causing the bleeding
of every single colour?
.
What are you
to cause the death of all colours
as soon as your nail polish dries up
.
Who are you actually?
What resides in your heart?
Which has turned us into strangers?
In that case, who should I be?
—
bạn là ai
khi hai mắt của bạn bỗng dưng bị vỡ
làm các màu sắc đều bắt đầu
chảy máu?
.
bạn là ai
khi sơn móng tay của bạn đã khô
làm sắc màu đã chết
.
bạn là ai?
trong trái tim bạn
để chúng ta trở thành người dưng?
rồi tôi sẽ là ai?
