“someone walked passed the door possibly”*

A poem in Vietnamese by Lê Vĩnh Tài

1.

“someone walked passed the door possibly”*

dare not pass the door

alone, I saw you there on the roof

fighting with the wind

gosh the cold chapped lips

you shattered into joy

since you’re dead

the dead are usually more beautiful

the entirety of dusk, bloodying everything

all the white windows

2.

the cold wind like memories

obstinate

you ran as soon as someone called your name

Thảo Phương

like grass you lived just once that afternoon

you ran in that direction

Não, a mulher que é autoconfiante, ela é simples, direta em seus posicionamentos. Não tem essa de querer fazer charme, ou ser ” a coitadinha” para querer se promover à custa do “dó das pessoas”. Se fosse assim, ela seria tudo, menos autoconfiante.

A pessoa que é autoconfiante, ela passa a imagem de alguém sério e dinâmico. Jamais vai ser aquela pessoa que irá agir dentro de uma simplicidade para parecer serena, no seu modo de atuar. Não, “ela acredita no poder que tem” e é esse o detalhe que a torna fascinante, justamente demonstrar esse poder que emana com naturalidade de si. Não é que ela seja ” arrogante “. Sem dúvida, no primeiro momento, isso pode até parecer. Mas…
