TIME
My best time for writing poetry
was when I had time,
when I had all the time in the world
and nary a care.
I had time enough to read
Yu Hua’s every novel and many stories,
just because of the feel of his language
and Republic of Wine by Mo Yan
and Gao Xingjian, all in Chinese.
I didn’t write many poems.
Maia was small. I had time before her.
Actually, translating more poetry
began just before Leo was born.
Anyway, we were in China
forever.

HONG KONG
for thirty years
every single year
spring days waning
cicadas come calling
that one day
people there
come out in the streets
light candles for us
observe our memory
grieve
for us
they do not forget
the only city on earth
2019.6.13
Translated by MW, 6/15/19
“I don’t dare to share this poem in my WeChat groups. Unfortunately, most people in mainland China have no idea at all what happens abroad. They don’t know anything. Least of all that Hong Kong is a very special city with a great heart full of love and freedom. And for us Chinese people, that single one city on earth is slowly disappearing.”
Translated by MW, 6/15/19
《香港》
沈浩波
三十年来
从未间断
每逢春日渐逝
蝉声响起
的那一天
那里的人
就会上街
替我们点上蜡烛
替我们祭奠
替我们
悲伤
替我们不遗忘
地球上仅此一城
2019.6.13
可惜这首诗写完后我都没敢在朋友圈发出来。大部分大陆人根本不知道[外国]那边正在发生什么。什么都不知道。更没有什么人知道，香港这座城市，有一颗伟大的拥有爱和自由的心。而这对于华人来说的，地球上仅有的城，恐怕也将慢慢消失了。

《不到端午》
妹妹在帮我翻译一封信
一位美国诗人的来信
有不少溢美之词
听得我心花怒放
“瞧！这一段”妹妹说
“他的意思你就是
中国当代的屈原”
“我——操！”
“不对”妹妹说
“他的意思你已超越了
中国当代的屈原”
“我——操！”
最后是坐在对面
沙发上的母亲
“真是这样吗？
那我们今天就给你包粽子”
（1996）
Yi Sha 《不到端午》
NOCH KEIN DRACHENBOOT
meine kleine schwester übersetzt mir einen brief
von einem amerikanischen dichter
viele schmeichelhafte worte
ich bin äußerst erfreut
“schau!”, ruft meine schwester,
hier schreibt er, du seist wie Qu Yuan,
chinas uralter heiliger dichter!”
“oh — fuck!”
“aber nein!”, sagt sie weiter,
“er meint, du seist noch wichtiger
als Qu Yuan damals war!”
“oh – fuck!”
vom sofa meldet sich
meine mutter:
“bist du wirklich so wichtig?
wir machen dir gleich dein drachenbootfest!”
1996

Yi Sha
PLUTO
vast stores of snow
on pluto’s poles
just like on our earthball
a rare occurrence
this morning
I care for the universe
just like a man cares for his balls
looks if there’s any cause for alarm
I am gazing far into the milky way
1996
Tr. MW, 2015
Yi Sha
PLUTO
die pole des pluto
voll schnee und eis
fast wie bei unserem eierplaneten
ein seltenes gefühl
heute morgen
denke ich an unser universum
so wie jemand an seine eier denkt
ob es gefährliche anzeichen gibt
so starr ich ganz weit weg in die milchstraße
1996
