A Sunset at a Bar for Two - Poem by Nguyen Dang Khoa

Illustration: Van Nguyen

The shop has no signboard or address.

Only open for sale at night

The restaurant is located on a remote hill.

A highly likely guess

The afternoon hangs precariously on my skin

Will break with one touch

Sit next to me until I'm ready

Let the darkness drag you away

You are still here, it is still quiet

White flag, green love story

What's your name? Repeat.

For the last time we call each other

The more affectionate, the sadder and colder.

What's your name? Please don't say.

I will be sad when the world misses me.

That afternoon was anchored by farewells

Your smile folds a thousand times.
