POETRY
Mountain Music
โ POEM by Nguyแป n Thแป Thรนy Linh
(Translated from Vietnamese)
Finding
the way into the mountain,
Wandering
like a little dove,
Forgetting the
grey-brown wings.
Flower
petals falling on the cool rock,
Willing
to shed everything to lie down.
Watching
the sky sprinkle on the mountainโs body,
Soft clouds as
stalactite smoke.
The
flower sleeping for a long time on the rockโs chest,
Gently
moving in a dream,
Wearing
a different colored dress,
Covering the cracked
rock.
Old
stories still leave fragrance in my hair,
Whispering
of fingers,
Writing
on the rock face,
Washing
away the rock heart,
Falling
leaves stirring,
Hugging myself full
of love.
The
sound of guzheng vibrates gently in the wind
The lover couple like as thin silk
entwinedโฆ
โฆ.
