Summer Memories - Poetry by Lo Duy Buu

In the forest the birds are chirping
looking up at the sultry sunny sky
I secretly wished for rain
cool
listen to the sound of the earth
rustling red flowers fragrant

ILLUSTRATION: TUAN ANH

I passed through the days of youth
accidentally left behind
purple ink smudged autograph page
in a flash
sadness lies in the green memory compartment

I am passionately dreaming
look at the stars at night
remember a time of confusion
I pick you a star
floating

My eyes sparkle
watery
dawn after the rain
wet ash color

Nostalgia for the old countryside
leave the city for the countryside at sunset
the luggage i carry
full of memories
same soul reborn.
