Short Song - Poetry by Do Quang Nghia

Illustration: Van Nguyen

*

(His faith is a wildflower)

Summer comes back like

never absent

never broken up

Sweet heart as if never bruised

never dark

This morning I remember a song

it's been a long time

oblivion.

*

My Wildflower

fell down yesterday

This morning there are still bright yellow flowers blooming.

then leave.

*

We cry on the flowery streets

Oh my god human pride

pride of every human being

I do not represent anyone

Don't go the goose feather route to find people.

*

I came to this life to love you

maybe and definitely

The tulips

this season fruit is blooming for you

maybe and definitely

There are snowflakes melting

before returning to the earth.

Like our love,

white, forever,

maybe and definitely
