Som Thao Poems

And so it seems as all before
The presence of winter once every year,
The pine trees shivers, to plus one age
The pigeons perch, to mourn existence
...

Yesterday I watched a man
tied by the hands,
hung on a rope,
in front of the square,
...

Birds chirping in the break of dawn,
the trees are dripping dew.
Their leaves are withered dark and brown,
and fallen but a few.
...

Oh cloud, oh cloud
How I wish to be like you
Gallant, handsome, proud, and mighty.
Let me have your freedom too
...

The wind howls from outside
as if crying to the cold.
Autumn leaves take to the air,
yellow, orange, red, and gold.
...

Midnight stars, please show your strength
Give to night a long delay.
Bring the owls out to flight,
cleanse my anguish all away.
...
