hôm nay tôi đi
tìm gió rộng
quạt mát nắng bực dọc.tìm gió rộng
bây giờ thời gian tính bằng năm rất ngắn,
hồi hộp không biết khi nào sẽ mất hết ngày mà
ngày không còn dài nữa
chỉ còn tôi.

dear d,
thank you for our conversations,
our monthly coffee rendezvous
across the city,
never mind the midnight double shifts, the stalled traffic home, the unfed dog.
thank you for coming,
even though the coffee shop is crowded and dingy
and coffee's not great,
but the croissant is cheap and the refills are free,
and there's always a table by the window for us.
because i am always needing
your eyes, kind as sun-warmed lake,
they look at me like i am full
of goodness, waiting,
like i am hilarious and worth all the world's time
so convincingly
that i don't care
if i am not.
