U SNU NAZDRAVIMO
Za Bùi Ngọc Tấn
Sa
tvojim osmehom
koji
plaši kamenu površinu
Kristalno
drhtanje u tvojim rukama
Ispijaš
zov ptica
Pada
truli otisak stopala svuda po kamenoj terasi
Tvoj pokrivač pokriva nemirne insekte života
Vi udišete jedno drugo
Na običnoj kiši
Flaša duboko tone urezana u grudi
Ti si srećan jer živiš kroz uklapanja
Dok ti oči ne izmene stvari
Pokrivač na belim poljima
Reči prave tlo trudnim
Kroz neobičnost
Uzimajući noćni zid
Ti si se zalagao ko zna kad
Neko
u tvom snu korake snuje
Još jedna čaša
Još jedna...
Sleep-walking
(For the writer Bùi Ngọc Tấn)
You toast
With your smile that scars the stone surface
Crystal trembles in your hand
You drink up the birdcalls
Dropping rotten footprints all over the cold stony
veranda
Your blanket covers restless insect lives
You breathe each other
In unusual rains
A bowl deeply sunken as carved by a breast
A caged boar’s juice to spurt on a wooden pig
You’re lucky to live through fits
As eyes of relatives amend your things
A blanket on white fields
Words make the soil pregnant
Through aberrations…
Grabbing the night wall
You have stood up who-knows-when
Someone pours into your sleepwalking steps
One more glass
One more…

Mộng du
(Tặng nhà văn Bùi Ngọc Tấn)
Cụng ly
Cười hằn mặt đá
Pha lê run trên tay.
Cạn tiếng chim
Rơi dấu chân thối rữa ủ thềm đá lạnh
Lao xao gối chăn nỗi kiếp côn trùng
Thở nhau
Thở cơn mưa lạ.
Miệng chén hoằm sâu bầu vú khoét thủng
Men lợn chuồng phóng lên lợn gỗ
May mà sống qua cơn
Mắt người thân hàn gắn các đồ vật.
Chăn trên đồng trắng
Chữ nghĩa làm đất mang thai
Qua thác loạn...
Bấu vào mảng tường đêm
Đứng lên ai biết
Ai rót vào bước mộng du
Thêm ly nữa
Ly nữa...
