THE SUN ROLLS OVER THE BRIDGE OF LOVE
I step onto the bridge – of – love
suspended
the orange has ripened
the bridge sways, sways like a hammock rocking by the stream
where lovers lean their shadows tilting
cool and sweet
like orange slices shared equally
autumn has crowned
gold spreads atop the hat’s peak
why do your lips glow red, like the sun hiding in the Ozo forest,
each morning gliding above me.

MẶT TRỜI LĂN QUA CẦU TÌNH YÊU
Anh bước lên cây - cầu - tình - yêu
lơ lửng
quả cam đã chín tới
cầu chung chiêng chung chiêng cánh võng ru bên suối
những cặp tình nhân bóng đổ ngả nghiêng
mát ngọt
như múi cam chia đều cho nhau
mùa thu đã lên ngôi
vàng phơi trên chóp mũ
sao đôi môi lại đỏ hệt mặt trời nấp trong rừng ozo
sáng sáng lướt qua anh.
