AUTUMN WAS BEGINNING
Autumn hadn't come to Ha Noi
but the afternoon rains made the dried leaves sad
the calm lakes forgot the waterfall's call
the winds were blowing you into some dream…
I was far away from the town of dirt
burying my love in the hot fire
the streams in Muong region were boiling
daytime was white because of night-time's froth
you were wandering like smoke of water
you were both virtual and real like flying dews
your soul traveled to the mountain regions
that the roads missing you
made the clouds got stuck
the water hit itself into the rocks
flowing around the hills angrily
I spread my arms breaking and destroying furiously
you just scrubbed the saddle, standing and sitting?
I sat by the very ancient cliff
which had been sad from the proteozoic era up to now
I came back to Ha Noi in the afternoon
knowing that Autumn was beginning somewhere
