The Quiet – Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

Quiet in the corner of eyes
Where the spring of salt pools hides
Melancholia dwell silently
Bursting in uneventful sighs

Quiet in the corner of ears
Where tinnitus sounds absent cheers
Paranoia burning whispers
Continuing relentless fears

Quiet in the corner of mouths
Where bare canines clench in bouts
Unsaid words of disappointments
Violent spasms of erring shouts
