MANTIS
The moon was not all over the mountain,
but I had a feeling,
standing alone in the dark,
being swallowed into the air.
The world was immense,
I was infinitely small.
This old house with its dim light
had been lived in before my grandfather,
two generations before I was born.
I came back from other parts,
my mother was at the stove, catching a mantis.
Fed him sesame oil, let him out on the grass.
Murmuring, warning our ancestors not to come back.
So I have a special respect
for every mantis.
Translated by MW, September 2017
螳螂
余榛
月光没有铺满山坡
但给我错觉
一个人站在黑暗之中
似已被空气吞食
世界无穷大
我无穷小
前面是黑灯瞎火的老房子
在祖父之前已住过
两代我没面世的先人
我从外乡回来
看见母亲从灶台上抓螳螂
喂了香油放回草地
嘴里叨念，先人已逝别再回来
从此我对螳螂
特别敬畏
버마재비
여진
달빛은 언덕을 가득 채우지 않았지만
나에게 착각을 주었다
홀로 어둠 속에 서니
이미 공기에게 먹힌 듯하다
세상은 끝없이 넓고
나는 무한대로 작다
앞에는 칠흑 같은 어둠이 넘친 집
할아버지 전에 이미
두 세대의 선조가 살았다
내가 다른 고장에서 돌아오니
엄마가 부뚜막에서 사마귀를 잡아
참기름을 무쳐 다시 풀밭으로 돌려보내면서
입으로 중얼거리셨다, 선조님들께서 이미 돌아가셨으니
다시 돌아오시지 말아요, 그때로부터
나는 사마귀를 보면
특별히 경배하였다

FAITH
New semester has started,
teachers in our department
first have a meeting for everyone,
then one for party members.
In between,
four get kicked out:
one democratic party person,
one Christian,
one Buddhist,
one me.
The Christian one is not very serious
(many Christians in China
aren’t),
so he makes fun of me:
“Only you
have no faith …”
I look askance at him
and tell him slowly:
“What do you think
poetry does for me?”

GLAUBE
zum beginn des neuen semesters
haben die lehrenden im institut
zuerst eine sitzung für alle
dann eine parteisitzung
dazwischen werden vier rausgeschmissen:
einer: demokratische partei,
ein christ,
ein buddhist,
ein ich.
der christ ist nicht ernsthaft
(christen in china
sind oft nicht ernsthaft)
und sagt mir zum spass:
“nur du
hast keinen glauben.”
ich schau ihn schief an,
geb in ruhe zurück:
“was glaubst du,
was poesie für mich ist?”

MONTJUIC, BARCELONA
Montjuic means
mountain of the Jewish cemetery.
In the 1380s
the Jews were driven
out of the city,
gravestones were used
for castle walls.
1000 years ago
there was a light house.
Later the castles built on the top
were often used to shoot on the city.
There’s ample reason,
there are ample historical reasons
for independence.
Catalan language
is everywhere,
Catalan first, Spanish second.
The castle gives you
a history lesson
beginning in Hebrew
and a poem in Catalan.
Much of the city
was built from quarries
here on the mountain.
Today there is peace,
peace enough for reflection.
How much do you need,
how much cooperation,
how much solidarity,
how much economics,
how much is public transport…
What can you see
from the top of the mountain?

POSTCARD
We are in Bakio.
Life is perfect.
Life is precarious, as everywhere.
Life is perfect.
Waves.
Special climate.
Not too hot.
We came to Bilbao
from Barcelona.
In this region, too
history means
resistance and independence.
Bakio has a new leftist mayor.
Bakio is a mid-sized town.
Summer houses.
Summer apartments.
Some things all year.
Bigger waves in winter.
The sea claims back
the old beachline.
Life is perfect.
The church of San Juan
up on that rock not very far
two hours on foot
less if you hurry
is in Game of Thrones.
Only there it’s a palace.
See you soon!

EIFFEL TOWER
Going up the Eiffel tower
means walking up all the way
to the second platform
if you don’t have a ticket beforehand
and want to wait in the shortest line
at the south tier, which still takes an hour.
That is after you stood in line
and went through security
to get onto the square under the tower.
So the line takes an hour at least.
Then it costs 7 Euro per adult, 5 if you’re under 19,
3 under 10. That’s for walking up.
And we had walked all the way from the Louvre.
Through the Tuileries, took a left at the Obelisk
to get over the Seine. The Orangerie museum
looks interesting. We had already seen sculptures
by Germaine Richier and others in the Tuileries park.
I remember a sculpture by her in Bilbao at the art museum.
Would have loved to get a closer look in the Tuileries,
but they don’t let you walk on the grass. Weird sculptures,
not at all like the one in Bilbao. We had of course seen the Venus of Milo
and the winged Nike of Samothrake. No, those aren’t cereals.
And a hermaphrodite, son of Hermes and Aphrodite,
merged with a Nymph by Zeus at her urgent request.
Yes, male and female organs. Many, many Aphrodites,
many clothed, actually. Artemis, Pallas,
and all the men. Marsyas, soon to be flayed.
Not to speak of the paintings. Or the old Egypt stuff,
very well organized, shows daily life, work
and many, many details
from 4000 years ago and so on. Better than in Vienna.
Lots of busts and other stuff from Palmyra,
many other places in Syria. Yemen, too.
A whole room from Palmyra.
Anyway, up on the Eiffel tower.
Thousands of people up there at night.
Very special feeling. We had lunched in the park,
there is a place with benches on a little hill
very close to the tower. Yuhuan started sketching,
Including the lamppost in front of us. Everyone else flew
paper planes and ate and drank what was there
from the small supermarket
around the corner. Lunch at seven thirty or eight.
We came home to the hotel at two o’clock in the morning.
Subway at Bir Hakeim, not very close.
But interesting and working late. Some people get in free.
We are content with smuggling in a small child every time.
People ask for centimes when they’re asking for money.
Very polite, actually. Centimes, from the old currency.
Probably means fifty Euro cents now. I think one was asking for less
when I had my hands full this morning with groceries from the bakery
after getting up before noon. No, you don’t really notice
the permanent state of emergency
more than the propaganda for 2024,
for the Olympics. They made a deal with Los Angeles, right?
One comes first, one four years later.
Whatever. Should really eat something now.

CHINESE WISDOM
what’s to show off about writing a lot?
writing not very much is something to show off.
what’s to show off about writing little?
writing only one poem is something to show off.
what’s to show off about writing one poem?
not writing any is something to show off.
what’s to show off about not writing poetry?
not talking poetry is something to show off.
what’s to show off about not talking poetry?
never talk, show one finger, that’s something to show off.

CHINESISCHE WEISHEIT
was ist so toll daran, ganz viel zu schreiben?
erst wenn du wenig schreibst, kannst du angeben.
was ist so toll daran, wenig zu schreiben?
schreib ein einzig gedicht, dann kannst du angeben.
ein gedicht und sonst nichts, was ist so toll daran?
überhaupt kein gedicht ist etwas zum angeben.
was ist so toll daran, gar nichts zu schreiben?
gar nicht vom schreiben reden, dann kannst du angeben.
nicht vom schreiben reden, was ist so toll daran?
schweig und heb einen finger, das ist was zum angeben.

seelen halten viele jahre

im großen technischen museum
im eisenwerk vitkovice
steht ein schneckenhaus für die seele
netter versuch
das museum hat insgesamt ziemlich viel seele
allein schon der garten
und jede der vielen vielen abteilungen
sehr viel interaktiv
penisse
vorne gegabelt bei manchen tieren
delphine
fische anpeilen
schwierig für menschenohren

stell dich hin
heb den arm, langsam
du siehst in den körper
von den füßen hinauf
mann oder frau
weiß nicht ob sie auch kind haben
nein es ist nicht dein eigener körper
es war ein sträfling
erklärt die nette junge dame

FRAUENSCHUHE AUS CHINA
19. Jahrhundert
Kleine Füße
und die kunstvoll
bestickten Schuhe
welche die Frauen
selbst herstellten
galten als
Schmuck und Stolz
der chinesischen Frau.
Bei den chinesischen Frauen
zeigte das wiederholte Verbot
des Füßebindens
durch den manschurischen Kaiser
keinerlei Erfolg.
Gebundene Füße
wurden somit
in Zeiten der Fremdherrschaft
zu einem nationalen Zeichen
des Chinesentums.
Als reine
Frauentradition
brach die Mutter ihrer Tochter
ab dem Alter von etwa fünf Jahren
erstmals die Füße.
Genauso wie
die Herstellung von Textilien
