Coming back in August

You come back with me in August

-Illustration: LE DUY

Those autumn days are long gone

Golden grapefruit glitters like a nursery rhyme

Dragonflies miss the sun and fly into the blue day

Cool guava and longan scent

Birds are chirping on the branches of someone's garden

It seems like the sun is still long

Still white jasmine flowers fragrant

The person is far away

I return to the old garden, lingering in the afternoon wind

In the field someone is flying a kite

Let me send back my missed love

Still sour peaches and astringent figs

Once upon a time, a sudden rain faded away

Now I have someone

Twelve ferry landing days away.
