Đinh Trường Chinh | Saigon Cathedral (35)

Saigon Cathedral by Đinh Trường Chinh

Saigon in the days when the movie
in my exile has yet end
I’m hanging in the old neighbourhood
in my heart the scattering of(someone’s) burning incense

vì tôi hậu chấn kiếp lưu vong
đêm đứng chôn chân ngoài xóm cũ
khói nhang ai thắp rụng trong lòng
