HEIGHT OF THE WORLD
To look for a person with backbone,
take the bones apart,
then one by one join them together.
The kneecaps cannot bend,
the whole spine cannot be bent,
nor can it be soft.
Not one bone can be bent or soft.
The sole of the foot stands on the ground,
then the bones rise up towards the sky.
When they are joined for the final height,
that is the height of the world.
I haven’t found it yet,
can’t take myself apart after all.
Translated by MW, October 2019
世界的高度
江湖海
寻找一个有骨气的人
把骨头拆了
一根一根接起来
膝骨不能弯
整条脊椎骨不能弯
也不能软
哪一根都不能弯不能软
脚掌骨立在地上
一根一根地往天上接
接完的高度
就是世界的高度
我没找到他
我还不能把自己拆了

EMPTY CHURCH
it’s good to sit in an empty church.
you don’t matter here,
your life doesn’t matter.
it’s like when you’re up on a ridge,
you see the mountains far in the distance,
and the valley between.
you can see the whole valley.
somehow this time you see it more clearly
in this empty church.
does this mean you believe?
one time you were up on the roof.
it’s a big church, you can see very far.
you were up there with friends, and with your family.
it was a full moon.
you had a great time, all of you.
they do this only once in a year,
or even less often.
to let people up there.
it’s a big dome.
it’s good to sit in an empty church.
it’s not really empty,
people walk back and forth
once in a while.
if it was empty,
it would be locked.
anyway, it’s big enough,
nobody bothers you.
you believe
you can finish a poem.

ROBOTERSCHWIMMBAD
Wenn ich schwimme
schauen mir Roboter zu
Im Schwimmbecken sind lauter Roboter
Im Kinderbecken auch
Schwimmlehrer sind ebenfalls Roboter
Die anderen bemerken dass ich nicht wie sie bin
Die Lehrerin schickt mich ins Roboterkrankenhaus
Wenn sie nicht aufpassen
renn ich nachhaus
mal mit bunten Stiften ein Bild
mal sie alle hinein
Mal mich selbst auch als Roboter

MUST CRY OUT
one person
in his 27 years in power
with his own hands
set in motion 55
big and small political campaigns
plunged his country in misery
made his people suffer to death
when I get to know this information
my mouth stands open
I want to cry: “grandpa!”
I want to cry: “grandma!”
I want to cry: “papa!”
I want to cry: “mama!
I want to cry: “uncle! aunt!”
I need to cry out
for all my relatives
all my seniors in my relatives
I want to tell them:
you had it so hard
in your generation
I forgive you everything

ICH MUSS EUCH RUFEN
ein mensch
hat in 27 jahren seiner herrschaft
mit eigener hand
55 kleinere und größere
politische kampagnen in gang gesetzt
sein land ins elend gestürzt
sein volk auf den tod zugerichtet
als ich diese nachricht erfahr
bleibt mein mund offen stehen
ich will rufen: “opa!”
will rufen: “oma!”
will rufen: “papa!”
will rufen: “mama!”
will rufen: “onkel! tanten!”
ich muss alle rufen
alle meine verwandten
alle älteren verwandten
ich will ihnen sagen
ihr habt es viel zu schwer,
viel zu schwer gehabt
ich verzeihe euch alles

《深情呼唤》
一个人
在他统治的27年间
亲手发动了55场
大大小小的政治运动
将其国家拖进水火
将其人民朝死里整
——当我得知这条信息
嘴巴张得老大
我想叫一声爷爷
我想叫一声奶奶
我想叫一声爸爸
我想叫一声妈妈
我还想叫一声
大伯、姑妈、舅舅
我想深情呼唤
我所有的亲人
亲人中的长辈
我想对他们说：
你们这辈子
活得太不容易了
我原谅了你们的一切

YOU
you allowed this ape
this strong-reeking filth
worse than any animal
you helped this grinning
creep
this neo-nazi turned
lord of angry losers
free angry losers
free-for-all
all for strong
protection
against
conscience
solidarity
consciousness
of what they do
how they make you screw
the weak
which means you
your own family
some time down the road
always
sooner than you think
don’t think

for the grinning
strong

FIGHTING POETS
I am a poet
I love to write
and to fight
let’s have a friend
ask me: what is the meaning
why do you waste time to write
what is this for
I take a knife
and go hacking
against myself and go on while I’am bleeding,
crying:
do not ask me
you’re no poet
you don’t know how to fight
with yourself
Tr. MW, May 2017

STREITBARE DICHTER
ich bin dichterin
ich liebe das schreiben
und auch schlägereien
ihr freunde, fragt einer von euch:
was bedeutet dieses gedicht?
warum vergeudest du deine zeit?
wo liegt der sinn darin?
dann nehm ich ein messer,
schwing es gegen mich selbst.
ich hack bis ich blute,
die ganze zeit schrei ich:
frag mich nicht!
du bist kein dichter,
du kannst dich nicht selber schlagen!

打架的诗人
成倍
我是一个诗人
喜欢写诗
也喜欢打架
只要朋友一问我
这首诗什么意思
你浪费时间写诗
意义何在
我就操刀
冲着自己砍
一边砍一边流血
一边哭喊：
不要问我
因为你不是诗人
你不会跟自己打架
싸움하는 시인
성배
나는 시인이다
시를 쓰기도 좋아하고
싸우기도 좋아한다
친구가 내게
이 시는 무슨 뜻이냐
니가 시간을 허비하면서 시를 쓰는
의미가 어디에 있냐는 물음을 제기할 때마다
나는 칼을 들고
나를 향해 찍는다
한편으론 찍고 한편으론 피흘리며
한편으론 울부짖는다
나에게 묻지마
넌 시인이 아니니까
넌 너 자신과 싸우지 않을 거니까

JUPITER
jupiter
is a marble
my daughter is
a sorcerer
a witch if you will
this cloud is a dragon
a hippo an angel
fields I have to cross in my life
when I see the clouds I feel closer to god
there is christ lying down before dying
don’t you see it?
don’t you believe me?
there is the eye
there are the nostrils
spewing fire!
come on do you think I am lying?

TEMPLE OF HEAVEN
at the echo wall of the temple of heaven
he told everything
what he wanted to say to the old man in heaven
what he wanted to say to his wife and kids
what he wanted to say to himself
told it all to the wall
actually he didn’t tell anything
to the wall
what he shouted was:
—- can you hear me?
—- can you hear me?

空洞消息
爬山的路修得很棒
爬山以后很想吃水果
上世纪八十年代发现的
北纬35度苹果真的很甜
唐朝法輪寺
老松树长出宋朝的塔
文革毁了碑文
有人说老毛写得好
有老和尚摸我的毛
有人说天津死了一千
或许更多

梦里过马路
梦见小时候熟悉的街头
等着过马路
绿灯可能没了
想闭着眼睛快点过去
怕还没有到对面，不敢打开眼睛
一打开醒来了。

Yan Jun
July 19th, I
have mosquitoes left a piano
summer evenings like being empty
what I know nothing about
what I wore forgot fished out keys
I know emptiness is impossible
I am sweating watching myself
unsure if I really know
maybe I really don’t know
this wild beast of summer I have said too much
mosquito coil burnt to ash. patient piano
I said too much of myself
in the elevator I am empty alone

===============================
……只剩下蚊子和钢琴
7月的夜晚 像是空的一样
而我对此一无所知
我穿过 忘记 掏出了钥匙
我知道空也是不可能的
我出汗 看自己
不确定是否真的知道
或者 我可能真的不知道
关于7月的猛兽 我说的太多
蚊香变成了灰 钢琴在忍耐
我说了太多的我
在电梯里 我空无一人

19. Juli, ich
hab’ nur noch mücken und ein klavier.
abend im juli wie völlig leer.
ich weiß dazu überhaupt nichts
was ich trug vergaß such meinen schlüssel
ich weiß die leere ist auch unmöglich.
ich schwitze sehe mich selber
unsicher was ich wirklich weiß
oder wirklich nicht weiß
über das biest im juli sag’ ich zuviel.
mückengift wird zu asche. klavier kann’s ertragen.
ich sag’ zuviel über mich selbst.
ich bin im lift menschenleer.
