We took a brief hiatus from curating OUT OF THE MARGINS in Feb\/Mar\u00a0(due to general busyness and other obligations in the lives of the editors) but are back now to commemorate the definitive month of April – whether you commemorate\u00a0it as a “Fall” or “Liberation” month (or as whatever else April may represent for you) – with two poems by Hanoi-based poet,\u00a0Nh\u00e3 Thuy\u00ean. We present these poems both in Vietnamese and English (with translations by Kaitlin Rees). Find out more about\u00a0Nh\u00e3 Thuy\u00ean’s writing at www.nhathuyen.com<\/a>. She is also the co-editor of AJAR<\/a>, a bilingual literary and art journal-press and\u00a0online\/printed space for poetic exchange, based in Hanoi.<\/em><\/p>\n

in the afternoon, while waiting for trains to come and leave, we\u2019d sit opposite one another, so one could not see the other<\/p>\n

we displayed our lives there, the games of small children, each one understanding that other person in their own way and i, in the end still know nothing about him<\/p>\n

i heard the broken rattling of ideas in his head, we stuck out tongues to lick the stream of pale dream light<\/p>\n

an afternoon\u2019s noise sunk at the station as the train shuddered on its rails, a deaf person gave me a hairpin which i dropped at some point<\/p>\n

I extract him from me, bit by bit, the smell of stagnant rainwater, a stain on the face, strands of hair shed on my coat\u2019s shoulder, the bra strap exposed, his tickling fingers on me, an old man selling tea on the street slowly discarding the spoiled longans<\/p>\n

I told him goodbye but forgot to say thank you, the blind spot of my fate that in a moment doesn\u2019t know itself<\/p>\n

\"nhathuyen_sketch1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

for years now, I have forgotten the old games somewhere, out of laziness, i don\u2019t know anything more about him, only sometimes in a way, i eat the pieces of memory, silently, slowly, always hungry, until he disappears, what i imagined about anguish, was only silence in the end<\/p>\n

until i am suddenly kissing him in a dream, what i imagined was silence, an enduring resonance like the corpse-dry broom of a haggard street sweeper<\/p>\n

\"nhathuyen_sketch2\"<\/a>an afternoon swells with torrential grey clouds that hover above the street, the anesthesia in loud breaking waves, we sit on pavement, holding hands drifting along behind<\/p>\n

the movements of bodies, a school of leaping fish follow your steps from the ocean their grounded fins a vanishing shadow, there only remains traces of blood<\/p>\n

entangling our rubbing toes in a warm smell, tapping off a list of injury, long scars, failed promises, quiet sufferings, months and years that pass unkept, hours dazed, nightmares flash our spirits into focus, and we have forgotten that appetite for destruction, that we should return to the old ways just watching the beauty of wild reeds withering and be a bit more fond of emptiness<\/p>\n

last night the ocean called repeatedly while we were entwined as if beside each other a million years, the first man to have plunged his face into the vagina of a sobbing woman and she envisioning the birth of new bodies, and she ignorant to his gradual disappearance and<\/p>\n

a school of ocean fish still leaping behind her steps, through cities, towns, streets, fins grinding down, traces of scattered blood<\/p>\n

i know your side, clouds swoop down on the ocean consoling it with a legend of extinct wild fish that blurred into dissolution, here afternoon swells with a grey storm, here tongue-tied traces of blood, here someone like me barefoot still waiting for you, over there someone like me still believing we\u2019ll arrive, entwined and swimming in teal waters rising like smoke, the ghosts in us will stop squirming and fade away, no one who knows us will disregard this sky this ocean swallowing the whole of us in its stomach of exuberant blue<\/p>\n

us, spreading traces of blood, spreading traces of blood, spreading traces of blood<\/p>\n

\nimpossible to return to the deeply buried beginning, i voluntarily undulate with the games of waves and speed of the wind\u2019s hand, not worried about the stream and having forgotten my school<\/p>\n

there is much i keep under the scales: echo of the deep sea, smell of seaweed, dusty water, heaving tides, corpses adrift, phases of the moon full and crescent, afternoons of cold grey sun, loneliness and immeasurably tender love reserved for wandering hearts, and waves whose life\u2019s purpose is to erode the walls between hearts and roar out unsharable pain<\/p>\n

though we made no promise, i have come back
\nin winter, as everything is shattering and just to realize i no longer cling to anything except the words that fall when your arms and the ocean no longer open, it is only the scales of \"nhathuyen_sketch4\"fish that float glossily under the sun at the end of a day that offered itself to me, to wait<\/p>\n

\"nhathuyen_sketch6\"no one can evade an entanglement with waves, before the sea, she says, and in the moment of a second, she is covered in the overflow, a pillar of water bursts into white foam, waves of the late night, chanting voices of the dark ocean, she is engulfed in all the hopelessness of huge immutable hope<\/p>\n

a fish forgets its school to undulate with the games of the waves and speed of the wind\u2019s hand<\/p>\n

though we made no promise, i have come back<\/p>\n

swimming after the sound of her voice, gathered up, buried down, a biting wind off a cliff, who\u2019s laughter erupts within my throat, something much too loud prevents us from listening to each other anymore, though i cannot cease whispering, your voice healing me, your voice giving me life again, we should talk to each other, we should talk to each other\u2026<\/p>\n

[Portrait of Nh\u00e3 Thuy\u00ean, by \u0110inh Tr\u01b0\u1eddng Chinh]<\/figcaption><\/figure>Nh\u00e3 Thuy\u00ean<\/strong> (born 1986) has authored several books of poetry, short fiction and some tiny books for children. Her series of essays, Underground Voices<\/i>(2011-2013), sponsored by the Arts Network Asia, examines marginalization in Vietnamese contemporary poetry and the avant-garde poets of its Post-Renovation period. Translations of her poetry and writing appear in Poems of L\u01b0u Di\u1ec7u V\u00e2n, L\u01b0u M\u00ealan & Nh\u00e3 Thuy\u00ean<\/i> edited and introduced by Nguy\u1ec5n Ti\u00ean Ho\u00e0ng (Vagabond Press, 2013) and in the journals of RHINO Poetry and Asymptote.
