NANJING-MASSAKER-MUSEUM
mit drahtlosen kopfhörern
tret ich in das schweigende museum
eindringlich hör ich im rechten ohr
frau Bao
als wär sie direkt neben mir
sie ist unsre junge führerin
in wirklichkeit ist sie manchmal vorn
manchmal hinten
manchmal nah dann weiter weg
aber sie hat tränen in ihren augen
das hat sich nicht geändert

南京大屠杀纪念馆
江湖海
戴上无线耳机
走进肃穆沉暗的纪念馆
娓娓解说响在右耳
让我觉得年轻的解说员小鲍
一直走在身边
事实上她有时走在前面
有时落在身后
有时在近旁有时离得较远
只有她的眼里
泪水和悲伤是不变的

TOKYO PASTA
Across the road from Tokyo Prince Hotel
in a train station basement
I ate a pasta I had never tasted
outside of my family’s home Matoushan
deep in China.
The flour is ground, dried in the sun,
beaten into a dough, pressed into strings,
these are dried again.
To the sound of the big village drums,
the pasta is born in a fine-tuned process.
It’s very resilient, every bite fills your mouth
with the scent of the grain.
I left home when I was 14,
had all sorts of pasta, sweet sour spicy,
strong kinds of taste, made very fast,
so the scent of my hometown
went very far away in the distance.
Never thought I would find it at this moment in Tokyo.
Above there are trains arriving and leaving,
producing a rhythm of deep and high notes
very much like the drums
of Matoushan.

FUSSPILZ
jetzt in laos
jucken die füss
dadurch denk ich
an meine ex
20 jahre geschieden
manches ist anders
manches verschwunden
beim waschen zusammen
gibt sie mir den fusspilz
sobald ich herumrenn
hört das jucken nicht auf

THOSE FEW YEARS
in the dim-sum hall in a corner
next to me
two old guys with their tea
talking past things
one says, those few years
nightmares every night
another says, you had it better than me
those few years
couldn’t sleep, night after night
January 2017
