ANTS
We saw a documentary,
in the morning an ant
crawled out, went to work,
around noon she walked to their canteen,
but there was an emergency,
had to do overtime.
All afternoon was very tiring,
but she was successful,
saved many ants.
In the evening she was still alive,
so we hoped for tomorrow.
There were other bugs too,
with different stories.
But the main guys didn’t die,
maybe because this is also for kids.
Actually children know about death.
Nana or granny will have to go.
I never got to know
my grandfather on either side.
That was very common,
Second World War.
The ant we were watching
was very brave,
I was rooting for her.
Although we knew she wasn’t young,
probably had just a few days.

蚂蚁
看了纪录片
蚂蚁早上
爬出来去上班
中午去餐厅
可是有急事
必须加工
下午一直很累
但基本上成功
救了很多蚂蚁
晚上还活着就好
明天再说
还有其他的虫
故事稍微不同
但主角不死
也许是观众有孩子
孩子知道死亡
知道奶奶、姥姥
有一天会走
我没有认识我爷爷
姥爷也是
在我一代非常普遍
因为二战
蚂蚁很勇敢
希望她活着
虽然一开始我们知道
她已经不年轻
也许还能待一两天

梦
睡午觉梦见一首诗
醒来想想
原来有没有这一首
可是已经没办法
不能读完
也不能记录

DREAM
sometimes i dream
of a poem
and when i realize it’s a dream
i wonder if the poem is real
but there is no time
to check it out
or write it down

诗
我不觉得诗让你变成更好的人
也说过几次
别想得太美
别说得太美
有的诗人
杀人

POETRY
Poetry doesn’t make you a better person,
I’ve said that before.
There are beautiful words,
there are beautiful thoughts.
But some poets
kill people.

有时
有时有的事停止
或结束而有的刚开始
有时候一年都是暴力和战争
有时候一切都一下次坠毁
有时还有人想要过节
有时候还拿到宝贵的东西
有人想起你

SOMETIMES
sometimes something stops
and something may begin
sometimes a year ends in violence and war
sometimes everything is destroyed all at once
sometimes someone wants to have christmas
and sometimes there can still be a gift
thinking of you

Ma Jinshan
LEBEN
Am Tag nach der Hochzeit,
hab vergessen warum,
hatten wir einen Streit.
In der Wut haben wir mit dem Trauschein
den Bus ins Amt in die Kreisstadt genommen.
Auf halbem Weg
war der Bus kaputt.
Bis der Bus repariert war
war es schon am Abend.
Wir haben den Bus zurück genommen.
Und so
sind wir bis heute beisammen geblieben.

伊沙推荐语：
有道是：婚姻是相互妥协的结果一一本诗便是对这一深刻之语的诗意诠释，其实哪里只是婚姻，人与人的相处之道不也如此。

Hong Huang
FUSZSPUR
Sohn bricht in die Welt,
sein erster großer Schritt
auf Papier
leuchtend rot:
Hand und Fuß
als Sinnbild, als Warnung.
Er ist grad rausgestürzt
aus Mamas Bauch,
wie soll er verstehen:
Ein ganzes Leben
ist ein Gang auf dünnem Eis,
auf dünnem Papier.

《新诗典》小档案：洪荒Hero：又称洪荒，80后。现居郑州。曾用多个笔名，初中开始写诗，有作品发表纸刊及网络平台。大学期间任校报文艺副刊编辑，校报记者团负责人。待出版诗集《在上海·外滩喝酒》。
伊沙点评《脚印》：诗人与平台，也存在一个试错关系，适合不适合你，先试一下。我甚至不记得是多久以前，洪荒投过稿，并流露出与《新诗典》相见恨晚的情绪，但恕我直言：那个时候他的诗不够。我以为他受了打击便从此一去不回头（有些仇怨就是这么结下的），没想到忽然回来了，并且诗也够了，令我小有惊喜。
徐江点评《新诗典》洪荒《脚印》：人生大感叹，渗入了沧桑体悟和为人父母的怜惜，尤为厚实。

NANJING-MASSAKER-MUSEUM
an dieser klagemauer von china
lass mich weinen
auf der chinesischen erde
unter allen reisezielen
hierher hab ich mich bis jetzt nicht getraut
aber als chinese
muss ich es mir
einmal anschauen
wenn ich ein großer dichter sein will
muss ich mit großen augen
hinstarren bis mir die augen rot werden
an der chinesischen klagemauer
lass mich weinen

南京大屠杀遇难同胞纪念馆
伊沙
在中国的哭墙下
让我哭
这是华夏大地上
所有景点中
我最不敢看的
但是身为中国人
一生必须
看一次
身为中国大诗人
必须双目圆睁
直至双目淌血
在中国的哭墙下
让我哭

NANJING-MASSAKER
als chinese
geschichtlichen fakten gegenüber
bring ich sie von geburt mit

also halt ich mich vorsichtig
fern von diesen sachen.

《南京大屠杀》
伊沙
身为中国人
对其史实
我生而知之
基因里带
于是便小心翼翼
回避着它的一切
影像、照片、回忆录
我是一个心碎的懦夫

INNERE NARBE
Das Nanjing-Massaker.
Was ich am schwersten schlucken kann:
Zweihundert japanische Teufel führen
fünfzigtausend chinesische Kriegsgefangene
ans Jangtse-Ufer und schlachten sie ab.
Fünfzigtausend Tauben trotten mit gesenktem Blick,
nicht einer wird Falke und fliegt ins Nirvana.

南京大屠杀
最让我难以下咽的是
两百个日本鬼子押着
五万国军俘虏
到长江边屠杀
五万鸽子低眉顺目
没有一只涅槃成鹰

JAPAN VISA
I hand over
my household registration,
my ID card.
my passport,
a certificate from my work
for how many years of employment,
how much I make every month,
how many days of vacation they gave me,
how much of that I’ll be spending abroad.
Proof that I own my apartment,
dirver’s licence,
bank certificate, signed and stamped
about my income this year
and over 100.000 in my my account.
It wasn’t easy, but someone
went for me to the people’s court
in another city 500 miles away
and copied
my divorce agreement
from 27 years ago.
My Shiba Inu,
pure Japanese breed,
secretly
went along after me,
also like some kind of
proof.

WARSAW
the eagle is not beautiful
the shadow of the eagle is
they have a chapel for Katyn
across from uprising square
the uprising was very brave
they won at first
the Red Army was there
just across the river
but the Red Army waited
then the Germans came back
they razed Warsaw City
the Red Army waited
that was in 1944
before that was the Ghetto
the Ghetto uprising
Stalin’ s culture palace stands in its place
in the place of the Ghetto
Katyn
was in 1940
tens of thousands of Polish officers
killed by Soviet intelligence
Ukrainians too
they have a chapel for Katyn
across from Uprising Square
tens of thousands of names
and a beautiful eagle
they say
I like its shadow

SUNSHINE IN WARSAW
Jacqueline Winter
A beautiful summer morning. Biking through the historical center. The bike return station is next to the monument of the 1944 uprising against the Nazis. HOW many dead and wounded, while the Red Army literally stood by on the outskirts of town? And the city dynamited and emptied of its population…you would never think it, looking at it now.
Across the street, inside a church, a simple and gut- wrenching memorial to the Katyn massacre victims. With a side memorial for the Smolensk plane crash of 2010, which I fail to understand. Must ask a local where they see the connection- if they do.
And what a tough people: exiled, murdered, bombed, map redrawn…yet they rebuilt splendidly from the rubble while still dirt- poor and were the first to put up meaningful nonviolent resistance to the Soviets back in 1980. And had free elections as soon as they could.
Swinoujscie – Swinemünde had public exhibits around town about their common history with Germany, bilingual. A strongly German city which was bombed flat 55% for being a naval base. No mention of the pre-war German population in Warsaw, though…
The Warsaw “Stalin cake” / Palace of Culture and Science is still on the grounds of the Jewish ghetto. That uprising was in 1943. A few meters of markings on the ground to show where its outer wall once stood. That is all.
ATTITUDE, EMPATHY AND SO ON
Martin Winter
People are trying to get by everywhere. First World vs. Third World (or Second World) creates issues of privilege. Just like different kinds of background, experience, heritage make for issues of disconnect within a common country or region. Why are people stupid enough to vote for or even work with racist rightist arseholes in Hitler-spawning Austria? Austria-Hungary-Germany whatever? My friends in China try to get by. Like people everywhere. Some get to express how they detest the state they are in. Some more than others. Like people anywhere, more or less. Some have their audience, as famous poets or fiction writers. Yes, things have improved very much in Taiwan, and in China there is the same repression going on in some ways. Yes, everyone is taking part more or less, including foreigners. All in all, foreign media is a good influence. Most of it. Everywhere probably, in every country, reporting from any outsider’s stance or background can be very refreshing. I was privileged in Taiwan and in China, in Eastern Europe, even in America. On the other hand, I am in between. Every day I talk and work with people and texts from different worlds. It’s a great life, all in all.
