where it’s windy on a winter’s day – Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

A poem in Vietnamese by Đinh Thị Như Thúy
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm


I’ve not told you when I’ll leave.
Perhaps it should be left unsaid.
Perhaps it will be a day far away.
Perhaps it will be soon.
I want to safeguard this for myself.
Like the few secrets, I’ve saved.
*
Sometimes there are all these questions.
Is the end scarier?
Or scarier is the way there?
Sometimes I’m overwhelmed by such uncertainty.
About the days long gone.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has caused a furore down under after firing Lebanese Australian journalist Antoinette Lattouf  on December 20, 2023 for sharing a post on the humanitarian situation in Gaza. Her employment as a short-term radio host was abruptly ended for allegedly breaching social media policy by reposting a Human Rights Watch (HRW) video on Instagram.
