"Valentine" by Carol Ann Duffy
Not a red rose or a satin heart.
I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.
Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.
I am trying to be truthful.
Not a cute card or a kissogram.
I give you an onion.
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.
Take it.
Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding-ring,
if you like.
Lethal.
Its scent will cling to your fingers,
cling to your knife.
ႏွင္းဆီနီမဟုတ္ ဖဲစနဲ႔လုပ္အသည္းပံုမဟုတ္
ၾကက္သြန္နီတစ္လံုး မင္းကိုငါေပးမွာ။
ဖိုးလမင္းကို စကၠဴညိဳနဲ႔ ပတ္ခါထား
လင္းကနဲ ျဖစ္ေစရမယ္
အခ်စ္ကိုေသခ်ာ တလႊာခ်င္းခြာခ်သလို။
ေရာ့ယူပါ။
မ်က္ရည္ေတြမႊန္ထူေစမဲ့
ခ်စ္သူတစ္ေယာက္လို၊
မင္းရဲ႕ပံုရိပ္
တုန္ခါေနတဲ့ အလြမ္းဓာတ္ပံုလို။
ငါ မွန္တာကိုေျပာတာ။
ခ်စ္စရာကဒ္ေလးမေပး၊ အနမ္းလက္ေဆာင္လည္းမဟုတ္
မင္းကို ငါ ၾကက္သြန္နီတစ္လံုးေပးမွာ။
သူ႔ရဲ႕ အနမ္းၾကမ္း မင္းႏႈပ္ခမ္းမွာ နားခိုေစ
သဝန္တိုၿပီး သစၥာႀကီးတဲ့
ငတို႔ ႏွစ္ဦးလို
သက္ဆံုးထိတိုင္။
ယူပါ
သူ႔ ေငြေရာင္ကြင္းေလးေတြ လက္ထပ္လက္စြပ္အျဖစ္ရႈံ့ဝင္
မင္းသေဘာရွိရင္ေပါ့။
ေသေစေလာက္တယ္
သူ႔ ရနံ ့မင္းရဲ႕လက္မွာစြဲေနမွာ
မင္းရဲ႕ ဓါးမွာပါ။
