THE USE OF WHITE PAPER

What you write
can be
wiped,
erased.
But when you raise your hands,
you need
a blank sheet of paper.
Otherwise it looks
as if you surrender.

Translated by MW in November 2022

Qizi
NUTZEN DES WEISSEN PAPIERS

Was man schreibt,
kann man auch
ausradieren,
löschen.
Aber wenn du die Hände hebst,
brauchst du
ein Blatt Papier.
Sonst sieht es aus,
als ob du aufgibst.

白纸的作用
起子

写什么
都可以
擦掉
抹掉
但双手举起时
还是需要
一张白纸
否则那样子
就像投降

SEESAW

Let living people be quiet!
But they may not quietly mourn
the people who died.

截锯

让活着的人静默
但不能是
为死了的人默哀

Lasst die Lebenden schweigen.
Aber keine Minute
für die Toten.
