GO WILD ON HEALTH
Why would anyone want to
go wild with the lives
of millions and millions?
Why would anyone
tell anyone
to do such a thing?
Think about it.
Did anyone think?
Make anyone not in their circles
more vulnerable again
and again
and gain even more
power that way,
or what do you think?

ICH GLAUBE
ich glaube
in mir ist musik
ich glaube
in dir ist musik
ich glaube im leben
ich glaube im sterben
ich hab es erlebt
ich hoffe du hast es erlebt
ich hoffe du wirst es erleben
Ich glaub mit Musik
geht es nicht schlecht.
Ich glaube in mir ist Poesie,
ich glaub in dir ist Poesie.
Oder auch Ärger,
oder auch Trauer,
oder auch Liebe,
oder auch Wut.
Oder was immer.
Ich glaub im Leben,
ich glaub im Tod.
Ich hab es erlebt, ich hoffe du auch.
Ich hoffe, du kannst es erleben.
Ich glaube, das reicht.
Oder auch Gott.
Solidarität.
Zweifel.
Ich glaube, in mir ist Zweifel.
Ich glaub, in dir auch.
Ich glaub im Leben,
ich glaub im Sterben.
Ich hab es erlebt,
ich weiß, du hast es auch erlebt,
ich hoff, du wirst es noch oft erleben.
Ich glaub mit dem Zweifel gehts ganz ok.

POETRY READING from December 31st till January 1st
Peace and Love poetry reading (1)
January 18, 2025
On December 31, I participated in a New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day poetry marathon on the internet in Chinese and other languages, hosted by the poet 桉予 An Yu. Altogether 300 poets reading over 24 hours. One section was devoted to poets from Ukraine. An Yu has now been circulating video recordings of readings from this section on WeChat, under the title Real Tiktok Refugees. I have seen reports from Ukraine and even online anthologies of poetry from Ukraine censored on WeChat, but for now, these voices are there to be heard and seen. It is a diverse selection, maybe as diverse as possible in this situation.
Real TikTok refugees – Ukrainian section of New Year poetry readings on the Chinese internet: Introduction and nine poets reading their works, along with translations.

Real TikTok refugees, part 2: Ten more poets reading their works, along with translations

昨天维也纳家里
接了两个老朋友
吃晚饭
德国人，住法拉克福附近
D开头那城市
很久以前我们一块去云南
我们四五个人讲了一些
他们的工作和家里的事
一些汽车配件
一些我们自己这几年
还有一些德国政治
他们快有选举
没讲奥地利政治情况
我们也许都觉得

LOVE
Is the Oval Office
the Ministry of Love?
Or maybe the Republican part
of the capitol?
Are there dungeons beneath,
for especially loved
police officers?

PARDONS
A hardened criminal
pardons a few
hardened criminals
who punched and kicked
a police officer
till they almost died.
One
died the next day.
Altogether five people
died from their actions.
A policewoman
got her skull cracked open.
They were caught
and convicted
in a huge case.
But now they are free.
No, this is no banana republic.
That Mafia chief
who just sprung
1500 thugs
give or take
owns the whole continent,
that’s what he says.
At least he has millions
and millions
of minions.

MOON
this is my first moon this year,
first one i see.
i have been sick
for a whole month.
the moon is pale,
not very round.
i should be out
at the government office.
but there will be protests
for years.
enough for many,
enough for me.
