Coffee

[Khe Iem]

COFFEE

by Khe Iem
translated by DoVinh

set the oars
the empty ferry-boat
supposes such

metaphorical words
do not trifle with memory

irascible

it has come time to bury alive
breath itself

drip drop
the coffee drips

[blp]

Lovely, especially the end. I'm having my coffee now as it happens. But it's my tap that's dripping.
