Du Xiaowang
RELEASED
A book manuscript of 360,000 characters
is relased with him,
he has served out his sentence.
He runs into many friends from before,
a wall forms around him.
Strangely,
the people who envy him
are windows with bars.
On the street people walk in a hurry,
in their looks they carry a prison.
Translated by MW in July 2020

He Shuo
TO KEEP WARM
By the door of the self-service bank,
a homeless guy
stares at the fire
in the stalls on the street far away,
rubbing his hands.

Yang Yan
OMA
Die Oma vom 6. Stock
die ausschaut wie meine
verstorbene Oma
wenn sie hinunter fährt
drückt sie oft den falschen Knopf
kommt dann zu Fuß wieder hinauf
jedesmal wenn die Lifttür aufgeht
und ich sie seh
denk ich
ha, Oma
wieder mal kommst du
von unten herauf.
