AWAY
Away from the environment,
how do I write in Chinese?
Especially a foreigner!
Looking at photos
and videos,
I realize again
when friends take a picture
they want to remember,
remember beauty,
being together,
and also
the vapid aggression,
destruction and ruin.

不在
（给上苑艺术馆2025年艺术家）
维马丁
不在中文环境
很难写中文
尤其是老外
看到朋友照片
和视频
就更知道
朋友拍的
都是想记得
记得美
记得在一块
也记得
荒谬霸气
坠毁空虚

英语也可以说任何语言，包括英语，离开了环境很难写出来。而那些荒谬等等，川普美国感觉也是。
In English I can talk about writing in any language, also English, while being away from the environment. I wrote this poem in Chinese in response to what happened last year and this year at a certain place in China. But the absurd aggression, the senseless destruction and ruin could also be Trump and Musk’s ‘work’, right? Or Putin and so on.

Du Feng’e
NASCHEN
Alte Leute sind Naschkatzen,
sagt ein Sprichwort.
Kranke alte Leute
sind es noch mehr.
Als Vater krank geworden ist,
hat er alle Snacks, die wir gekauft haben,
in sein Nachtkästchen eingeschlossen.
Unsere alte Mutter
war überhaupt nicht amüsiert.
Nachher haben wir die Snacks
in zwei Hälften geteilt,
jeder hatte sein Lager,
so gabs keinen Streit.
Diese Gewohnheit
haben wir bis heute beibehalten.
Auf dem Steintisch vorm Grab,
Opfergaben getrennt
links und rechts.

伊沙推荐语：绝了！对生活的观察力以及从生活中发掘细节的能力。大疫三载中，多个大小群体在《新诗典》上迅速崛起：傲夫诗社、长治诗群、河南诗歌节、绵阳说唱俑……其中长治诗群留给我如下印象：女诗人多、六七零后多、小中学老师多、诗心纯正向文学、生活阅历十分丰富、诗以细节见长……让我们继续观察。
