THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE
By Khe Iem
Translated by DoVinh
For a poet
Deaths that have never
been real deaths they
have never occurred
like we have been born
without origin and
arrived here from the chaos
momentarily stopped…
because life and death
have been a story retold
incidentally retold and
is nothing more than a
story that within a few
moments has become
old and after a few
moments the story
have been told and it
is over after
it is told returning
to the teller so
that other stories like
those have not been told
about life repeated
that have never been
real because we only
exist temporarily
in a life’s few moments
and then returns some-
where from where we came
deaths that have never
been real and you have
just momentarily stopped
a few moments. Thank
you for coming into life
and for telling the story
of your life.
