There’s still one way

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

A poem in Vietnamese by Lê Vĩnh Tài
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
Photography: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

There’s still one way

 

You could abandon your dreams

Allow the tides of the Rain

Allow The World of Leaves

The poem the birth of Humanity

 

There won’t be a need for you to sleep

In the hills and valleys of redemption

On the pages of books

Pondering your midlife crisis

 

You shall walk alone in the dark

Tripping on your own thoughts

To after rise

Beneath the Sunlight

 

You will set free the truth

Allowing the vines of others to latch on

The souls you will find

Residing in the Clouds and the Leaves

 

Just you alone step into

The vacant space of the future

Allow it to wrap you up like a corset

Take the air out of your lungs

The truth of the matter is that common, everyday folks have…

Signs Of The Times: A Photo History — beetleypete

A group of Temperance Society ladies. A ‘protest’ by blondes and brunettes. Immodest clothing means a rise in the divorce rate. More campaigning against shorter skirts. I think the sign refers to a different lady. A street protest joker. Elegant advertising. Long hair equals Communism. (Apparently) Young women in favour of mini-skirts. Job hunting after […]
