Yang Zongze
BEGEGNUNG IM CHATROOM
Im Chatroom von Netease
treff ich eine “kaiserliche Dame”.
Ihre hocherhobene Art
ist als säße der Kaiser
des Reiches der Qing
noch in der Halle der Höchsten Harmonie
und sähe Eingaben durch.
Ich schreib eine Frage:
“Wie geht es dem Jadekörper der Dame?”
Wer hätt es gedacht, sie antwortet gleich:
“Es ist spät, zieh er sich kniend zurück.”

伊沙推荐：杨宗泽，我早知道，十年前还见过一面，但我一直以为他只是一位诗译者，不知道他还是诗人，直到前些日子他请我给他即将出版的诗集写几句话。聊天室，已经不存在了，但不影响本诗的存在，这就是写好了。
徐江点评《新诗典》杨宗泽《聊天室奇遇》：业已消失了的虚拟生活，不能因为其消失，就抹去其存在的印迹，本诗是一张存照。

THE QUEEN IS GONE
She was my parents’ and grandparents’ world,
she had it cushier than all of them.
My son knows Freddie Mercury,
not sure if he knows her,
hasn’t been to Britain.
I went with my folks when I was young.
My dad was in England as an exchange student,
when he was young, maybe twelve.
We visited Marjory,
dad was at her place.
Marjory almost like the prime minister,
but a much nicer person.
We went to England and Wales
in a small car.
I even got to swim in the sea
somewhere in Wales on the coast,
no-one was there.
Beautiful, though cold of course.
Queen Mother was still around,
not in Wales at the time.
Freddie Mercury and friends,
I saw them in Vienna,
my first big concert
aside from classical music.
Boy, that was a long time ago.

ROSKILDE CATHEDRAL
and death shall have every single dominion
every single sovereign of the realm
every hour st. george slays the dragon and it lets out a frightful wail
every morning there is the harbor there are the ships from ancient times
and when the walls came tumbling down joshua’ s men killed every man woman or child they could find
there are the fields by the cathedral there are the stones in the old ships
every flower every fruit every child is more important
and you can have every single dominion
every single sovereign of the realm
