A signature

by Vu Thanh Hoa

We go to court today
How many witnesses?
They are indifferent and silent
Admitting us… to break up

We sit on two sides of a table
But so far away
When will we meet
Between the two banks of separation

Holding an orphaned pen
I bit my lips to write carefully
That bitter signature
To be apart forever

That day was gone forever
We made a promise together
I also sat
Signed carefully my name in pairs

Cloud flying away from the sky
Sunshine covering at the end of summer
We fell in love quickly
Raining for a whole lifetime of loneliness…
