အိမ္ေဖာ္ (The Maid)

ေဝဝါးေနတဲ ့ အနာဂတ္ကုိကုိင္
ဧည့္ခန္းေရွ႕
ထမီတစ္ပတ္ႏြမ္းေလး
ျဖတ္ ... ျဖတ္ ေလွ်ာက္တုိင္း
ကိေလသာၾကီးက
ေဆးလိပ္မီးကုိ
ဖိ ... ဖိ
သတ္တယ္။


[ ေနျမဲ ]

The Maid

Gripping vague future,
Whenever the worn-out Htabi [*] was pacing
Across the sitting-room,
Mr. Lust used to smash
His cigarette
By enormous force.

[*] Burmese traditional costume for women to wrap lower part of the body.
