hoa dien vi dai

Noi tan cung su kho dau cua toi
co mot canh cua

Nghe toi nay: cac ban goi do la chet choc
Toi nho la the.

Tren cao, co nhung tieng dong, canh cay thong chuyen minh.
Roi im lang. Anh nang yeu ot
Chieu lap lanh tren mat dat kho can.
That khung khiep, de ton tai
y thuc phai chon vui trong long dat den
The la cham het: dieu do lam cac ban so hai, linh hon
khong the thot nen loi, ket thuc dot ngot, mat dat cung
venh len mot it. Va toi cu ngo nhung chiec la non la lu
chim chao lieng noi lum bui thap.

Cac ban khong con nho
con duong den tu the gioi khac
toi ke cac ban nghe, toi co the noi them lan nua: bat cu thu gi
quay ve tu trong su quen lang
quay ve tim lai tieng noi:

y nhu tu giua long hoa dien vi hien ra
dong suoi nguon xanh tham
soi bong vao vung bien man xanh trong.

THE WILD IRIS
By Louise Gluck

At the end of my suffering
there was a door.

Hear me out: that which you call death
I remember.

Overhead, noises, branches of the pine shifting.
Then nothing. The weak sun
flickered over the dry surface.

It is terrible to survive
as consciousness
buried in the dark earth.
Then it was over: that which you fear, being
a soul and unable
to speak, ending abruptly, the stiff earth
bending a little. And what I took to be
birds darting in low shrubs.

You who do not remember
passage from the other world
I tell you I could speak again: whatever
returns from oblivion returns
to find a voice:

from the center of my life came
a great fountain, deep blue
shadows on azure seawater.
