By Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm 

love is a strange creature

it gets under your skin
sometimes you burn, you blister
peeling in layers
you sit and you watch
you saw love caressing
kissing
touching
someone else
you..
do you care enough to allow her to freely love?
or is she merely the object of your desire?

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