Garden after the rain - Poem by Nguyen Duc Phu Tho

ILLUSTRATION: Van Nguyen

The sound of puppies barking loudly around here

front porch

specks of light sprinkled across the canopy

then yellow all over the path

"Hey baby, where are you?"

grass grows green

soon to rise

garden, after the stormy days

now is the time to change clothes

endless green day

high sky

The grass is green

gardener of the soul

will not be able to rest for a moment.

Flowers bloom along the path,

little bird by the fence

sing

carry a prediction

Quick steps

look across the garden

beautiful green area, lake seems to hold its breath

grass after rain

sunshine after rain

Come back here, come back here

distant wait

under the light

the dark slopes

What is the puppy wondering about?

suddenly come to the person

gasp

- "Hey baby, where have you been?"

"Hey baby, can you hear me?

new shoots

begin?"
