STARS
Last night someone
put down many candles
on the ruins.
Then they stood there,
played a violin
and recited a Psalm.
Mother and daughter.
At the end two poets
did some of their stuff.
The candles are fine,
like the moon, don’t be scared,
the candles are fine in the ruins.
You can play your violin,
you can sing,
you can recite
whatever you like.

星星
昨晚有人
放很多蜡烛
在废墟上
站在中间
拉小提琴
背诵圣经
一对母女
最后还有
诗人朗读
蜡烛不怕
月亮不怕
在废墟里
蜡烛不怕
可以拉琴
可以唱歌
可以读诗

HURT
Shangyuan Art Museum
lies far from the city,
close to the country,
close to nature,
very close to the mountains.
This year it is also
very close to violence,
to senseless absurdity
in its society.
It just got too close.
It got fucked over,
it got violated.
The mountains are there,
the weeds are deep.
Art lies destroyed.
How can it go on?
To be an artist
has always meant
to be close
to a gaping hole
that lies just behind.
We know.
And when it happens,
it hurts.

痛
上苑艺术馆
离城市很远
跟乡下近
跟自然近
离山非常近
今年还有
离社会
背后的暴力
背后没道理
真的太近
有一种被诈骗
被强奸的感觉
山一直在
草木很深
艺术被毁灭
还能怎么样
艺术家
一直都
离社会背后
的深渊很近
有时候太近
大家都知道
发生的时候
就是
很痛

TIRED
These days
more than a week
after we knew
we have been worried.
Yesterday we had
a last exhibition.
Today was the second
black & white performance.
In the evening we get together
to eat and have fun.
I am tired.
The demolition is going ahead.
I am feeling
mainly just tired.
And it has just begun.

IN THE MUSEUM THAT IS
BEING DEMOLISHED
Here and Vienna,
two different planets.
Here and Beijing,
two different planets.
Here and the mountains
or even the neighbors,
two different planets.
Although to the neighbors
there are some relations
closer than being
in the same solar system.
MW June 2024
这里跟维也纳

MOON
This is Monday.
Last night the moon
was full and had sleep.
Although after dark
they went on demolishing.
Walking to Pingyifen
at nine o’clock
we still got noodles.
Walked back, went to sleep.
At three thirty or so
dawn was beginning.
One hour later
I crawled out of bed.
Took a shower at five
and there was water!
Around six
they went on digging.
Walked down to the basement,
there was no power.
Walked to the library
with the water heater
with ground coffee
and the French press.
The library has Wifi.
I was beginning
to get back my spirits.
Then we went out
to have a picnic
under some trees.
At around eleven
you could feel the heat.
There were some clouds,
just like a Sunday.

CHARACTER
Last year in April
when I first came
and walked through the campus
of Shangyuan Art Museum
from the front to the back
along the big exhibition hall
to the small bridge
on the left
there was a wall
a tall grey wall
crowned with barbed wire.
Looked like a prison.
What is this
I asked.
It is the house
of the poet Xi Chuan.
But he never comes
he’s never been here.
I didn’t ask more.
Now there is no exhibition hall.
From the library
from the back door
you can see over the ruins
all the way
to that grey wall.
There is enough space
to write on the wall.
Maybe just one character
maybe “shame”.
That “shame” of “no shame”.
Yes I do know
that I don’t know
very much at all.
There must be reasons
why it went this way.
But now there is room
there is very much space
now the effect
could be not bad.
MW June 22, 2024
写字
去年四月
第一次来
上苑艺术馆
从前面走后面
沿着通道
经过展厅
到后面小桥
通道左边
灰色高墙
上面铁丝网
像监狱
那时候问
旁边是什么
是诗人西川
建设的房子
可是他不来
从来都不来
我觉得奇怪
但也不多问
现在展厅没了
从图书馆
后面的门
经过废墟
看到后面
灰色的墙
觉得墙上
可以写字
就一个字
也许可以写
恥
无耻的恥
当然有很多
我都不知道
应该有很多
为什么有今天
不过一直觉得
这墙很难看
而现在有空
有很大的空间
现在写
效果好

HEALTH
I heard the pandemic
and being demolished
produce the same feeling.
The class of the people
who manage the buildings,
the class of the people
who guard all the gates,
the class of the people
who sell drinking water,
the class of the leaders
they all would be feeling
very healthy.

MEETING
The worker in front of my building asks,
what was there before?
He points at the ruins.
I don’t understand.
He came in after the big demolition,
he says.
A museum,
a very big gallery.
I’m not sure he understands.
But he knows
we couldn’t rent anything better
than the buildings still standing
in this faraway village.
I wish we could have met
under different circumstances.

Walking at night

away from the ruins
of Shangyuan Art Museum,
the artist from Serbia says,
eight years ago
he didn’t know any Chinese.
Walking all over
he felt China

was wonderful.
Much better than Europe,
he told anyone
back at home.
Now he thinks
people are
pretty much
the same anywhere.

HIDING
Outside they are destroying
the big exhibition hall.
Hiding behind
the buildings around it,
we can only hope to get out
when they stop for lunch.
At the same time
B2 building is also demolished.
First they are breaking
the remaining windows
to get money for parts.
I hide in the cellar,
indulging in coffee.

DREAMING OF FATHER
Dreamt of my father
living in the countryside
but not at an actual place
that I know.
It’s on a slope
with a fence at the top.
We have a car,
it needs repairs.
At the gate there is a guy,
he says he’ll repair
the cooling fan
of the engine.
My father says,
don’t give it to him,
you know where he’ll take it?
I guess he will sell it.
It seems like we are
the only two people
who live in this place.

IT HAS BEGUN
It has begun,
breaking the windows
to sell them for scraps.
Art is
making
windows.
When they demolish
the art museum,
these windows
won’t be recycled.
MW June 12, 2024
EXHIBITION
Yesterday we had a great
exhibition,
even with foreign reporters.
A wonderful show
outside the museum.
In the museum
we had performances,
all black and white,
like in Chinese tradition.
They say demolition
begins today.
MW June 13, 2024
DAY BY DAY
day by day opening your heart
day by day with all your heart
day by day staying careful
day by day careless hearts
MW June 11, 2024
WAITING
A little hike up the mountain
before it gets dark,
dinner together
and a small campfire.
A friend plays guitar.
I am getting drunk.
In the morning
the wonderful mountains.
It’s a clear day,
soon getting hot.
Will they demolish
the big one today?
We can only wait.

POETRY
poetry doesn’t make you a better person

POESIE
poesie macht dich nicht zum besseren menschen.
musik macht dich nicht zum besseren menschen.
kunst macht dich nicht zum besseren menschen.
ein paar minuten vergisst du dein leben,
vielleicht ein paar stunden.
es ist es doch wert.
MW 9. Juni 2024
WEEKEND
Today is weekend
Monday is a holiday
Maybe they won’t demolish
MW June 9, 2024
RAIN
Rain is security,
in heavy rain
they won’t demolish.
After the rain
nobody knows
what happens tomorrow.
MW 2024-06-07
THAT BUILDING
That building
with the washing machine
and female artists
must be dangerous.
The other buildings
aren’t safe either.
The exhibition hall
has to go.
Nobody knows
what happens
tomorrow.

DEMOLISH
What is the opposite
of soft power?
Burning bridges?
Beijing Shangyuan Art Museum
has been a bridge
for international relations
in art and culture
for twenty years.
Yesterday and today
here at the museum
people came to measure buildings
slated for demolition.
Everything must go!
Everyone!
This hill is for goats
anyway.
No reason given,
no exact date.
Nothing new in this country.
Today’s date
fits rather well.

there was the white

I SAW
A guy
with a brush like a broom
writing
on a concrete path in the park.
It dried right away.
Can you say

Do you dare

there is none?

从旁边村子
到顺义地铁
大概一个小时

反正很久
走路到村子
要二十分钟
早上还不到六点

loudspeakers around the pagodas
reach everywhere
up on the mountain
sitting in the cave
there might be some peace

these pagodas have spread
india nepal and on to china

pandemic measures
herding measures
language measures
no more mongolian in schools

It’s six hours earlier there.
Yesterday my wife and our kids
had lunch with my parents.
On mother’s day
they’ll be with my sister.
So it had to be yesterday.
I heard her voice for the first time
since the middle of April.
She sounded healthy and hale
in body and mind.
This year she’ll be 82.
She can drive.
Her health is better than my father’s.
My father’s not bad.
He is 84.
After a stroke he doesn’t drive.
He walks with a cane.

the sheep wake up slowly.
Maybe they are goats,
they don’t have much fur.
They sleep together
close to the wall.
There is some straw.
A little one is hungry.
It has grown up,
but still wants to suck,
it pushes its mother down there.
It doesn’t work.
The mother walks off.
Most of the small ones aren’t up.
A big one takes a big one,
right in the middle of the whole place,
rather like a big dog.
The birds have been busy
flitting and calling
for hours already.
It’s six o’clock,
not that any goat cares.
Another train is coming.
The curves of the mountain
are beautiful curves
in the morning light.

它已经长大了
但还是想吸
推着妈妈的下面
没用的
妈妈走开
大部分小的都没起来
一个大的拉一个大的
就在整个地方的正中央
很像一条大狗
鸟儿们忙着
飞来飞去叫
也像打电话
已经几个小时
现在是六点
反正山羊也不在乎
另一列火车来了
山的曲线
都是美丽的曲线
在晨光中
