Jiang Erman
GROSSE SCHWESTER
Grosse Schwester und ich schauen eng zusammen im Bett
auf bilibili
ein Holographie-Konzert von Hatsune Miku.
Mir kommen beim Reden
ein paar Haare in den Mund.
Ich zieh meine Lippen zusammen
und spuck die Haare aus.
Grosse Schwester schaut
mich erstaunt an
und sagt,
Das sind meine Haare!

Jun Er
SPIRALE
Mama ist aus den 1940er Jahren
in den 1970er Jahren hat sie meinen kleinen Bruder geboren
dann haben sie ihr zwangsweise
die Sprirale eingesetzt
2014
als sie 70 geworden ist
ist es nass durchgebrochen und hat sich entzündet
dann erst haben sies ihr im Spital rausgenommen
Sie hat geglaubt der kleine Metallring
würd im Fleisch verschwinden
und hat nie erwartet dass das Entfernen
des staatlichen Geräts
noch einmal kostet
5000 Yuan

CHILDREN
At Wuwei airport near Nanning
with fellow poet Martin from Austria
near the security gate,
a child is crying.
Martin suddenly asks:
“Do you have children?”
“Yes, I have two.
And my children
also have children!”
Martin gives me a thumbs-up:
“Great!”
What is so great, I am thinking,
back then my wife with her big belly,
always trying to hide;
writing a heart-felt self-criticism,
undergoing sterilization,
forking out a huge fine,
still losing job and insurance.
Didn’t want to depress our guest,
so I told him nothing
about our Chinese characteristics.

《孩子》
在吴圩国际机场
送奥地利诗人维马丁
快到安检口时
有个孩子哭了
维马丁突然好奇地问:
“你有孩子吗?”
我说:“有
有两个!
而且我的孩子
也有了孩子!”
维马丁竖起大拇指:
“好,很好!”
我心想,好什么呀
想当年妻子挺着个大肚子
成天担惊受怕东躲西藏的
写了深刻的检讨
做了残忍的绝育手术
交了昂贵的罚款不说
把铁饭碗都给丢了
为了不让维马丁扫兴
这些中国特色的破事儿
我没告诉他

FAITH
My 80-year-old aunt
is a devout Christian.
She goes to St. Peter’s cathedral in Rome,
brings me a beautiful cross with a necklace,
sacredly hangs the cross on my neck.
She looks at me happily,
gushing:
“This is wonderful.
They always say on TV,
when the people have faith,
there is hope for the nation!”

《信仰》
八十高龄的姑姑
是个虔诚的天主教徒
她从梵蒂冈圣彼得大教堂
给我带回一条精美的十字架挂链
非常神圣地挂到我脖子上
姑姑十分满意地
边看我边叨叨:
“这多好
电视上都说了
人民有信仰
国家有希望!”

Xie Xiaozhou
WIRD NICHT STEIF
ich bin noch klein
oma starrt in den stammbaum und seufzt
bei papa bricht unsere linie ab
jedesmal wenn sie so traurig ist
möcht ich dass mir ein penis wächst
im traum ist mir einer gewachsen
er ist in meiner hose
aber er wird und wird mir nicht steif

Ru Ye
YOU CAN‘T GET AWAY FROM THE PAIN
the doctor at the physical said
your IUD
is an old model
not easy to get it out
you fill out an application form at your work unit
get a stamp from the family planning bureau where you live
then come again and we’ll extract it
in your mind’s eye
you see the old elm tree for hanging the laundry
iron wire grown into the tree
scar looks like cutting a body in half
now you want the wire pulled out from your flesh
your knees getting weak
People’s Hospital corridor
you sit thirty minutes
and still can’t get up

FEI (Sex 13)
COMPROMISE, CHINESE-ENGLISH
under the system
you learn to compromise
anyone
the system
is a huge condom
never let no-one pierce it
you might get pregnant
being pregnant
means all sorts of things
you could get aborted
you could be induced
and end up dead
compromise
the english word
you make a promise
a common promise
collective promise
“tuŏxié” in mandarin
“xié” like in “xiéshāng”
negotiation
“tuŏ” like in “tuŏdang”
suitably done

性13
《妥协的中英文解释》
在体制下
你要学会妥协
任何人
体制
是一个巨大的安全套
你不要轻易地捅破它
很容易怀孕
而怀孕
意味着各种情况
比如你自己的被流产
被引产
包括死亡
妥协
英文是compromise
Promise是承诺
那么
Compromise
则是共同承诺
妥当地协商
是为“妥协”
