Nguyễn Lâm Thảo Thi writes - Ness Owen translates into Welsh
hold a word, breathes
(After Ness)
hold a word, breathes haze through the tropics
heat lodged in the temple, rustling in the sinus
hold a word, breathes an oversized vowel, accented
grief leaks
hold a word, breathes from the opening of the chest
like singing, worn out on the skin
clogged up in water
breathes a mother’s lullaby
a rumbling twang
aches
prickly thread
suspending my flesh, hovers for something that’s still here
