hanh phuc (happiness)
HAPPINESS
by Louise Gluck
.
A man and a woman lie on a white bed.
It is morning. I think
Soon they will waken.
On the bedside table is a vase
of lilies; sunlight
pools in their throats.
I watch him turn to her
as though to speak her name
but silently, deep in her mouth--
At the window ledge,
once, twice,
a bird calls.
And then she stirs; her body
fills with his breath.
I open my eyes; you are watching me.
Almost over this room
the sun is gliding.
Look at your face, you say,
holding your own close to me
to make a mirror.
How calm you are. And the burning wheel
passes gently over us.
1980

HANH PHUC
Chang va nang dang nam tren chiec giuong trang
Buoi sang, Toi nghi vay
Rat nhanh ho se tinh giac
Lo hoa tren chiec ban canh day
Hoa loa ken, anh nang
Dong vung trong moi cuong
Toi nhin chang quay sang nang
Hinh nhu goi ten nang
Nhung lang le nu hon gan chat tren moi
Ben cua so
Mot, hai
Tieng chim hot
Va nang tro minh, co the cua nang
Tham dam hoi tho chang
Toi mo bung mat, anh dang ngam nhin toi
Khap can phong
Anh nang nhay nhot
Nhin khuon mat em kia, anh noi
Om anh vao long
Ngam nhau nhu soi guong
Anh binh lang lam sao! Va nong am
nhe nhang giang phu len doi ta.
