GEBROCHENE ZEILEN
Ich hab immer gesucht
zwischen den Zeilen,
wo etwas bricht.
Was sich da verbirgt
in einem Gedicht,
was sich da verwandelt,
ist das ein Schmerz
von splitternden Knochen?
Die rasende wirbelnde Kraft eines Wasserfalls.
Die Spuren der Sterne, wie sie sich drehen.
Die Evolution, die Geschichte der Menschen, der Dinge.
Oder nur ein Krachen, das ich aufschreib,
solang ich noch kann.
Übersetzt von MW im August 2022

BROKEN LINES
I have been exploring
breaking points
in a poem,
what is hiding
between phrases.
How a sentence changes tone,
are there any bones
cracking with pain?
The force of rushing waterfalls,
how the universe moves and the stars in their tracks.
People evolving and other things.
Or just a crisp sound I write down
before my last breath.
Translated by Shi Jian and Martin Winter
《新诗典》小档案：陆福祥，1985年8月14日生于广西南宁，壮族，《新世纪诗典》诗人。
伊沙：我有一个看法：能够在诗写中发现诗的人，都是在诗中用心很深的人，这是一个专业程度的表征。本诗告诉你，陆福祥正是这样的人，作为一名后起的85后，他是实力诗人。
况禹点评《新诗典》陆福祥《断句》:“小”处入手，深挖、大开，于具体中见宏大，且富有形式感。是一首彰显作者内力的佳作。

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.

SICK
How many dead now, how many infected?
How many countries?
Is it near us, should we buy masks?
What should we do?
Meanwhile there are other news.
China sentences Hong Kong bookseller to 10 years in prison.
China kidnaps Hong Kong bookseller from Thailand.
China kidnaps whole bookstore.
Five employees.
China makes them confess on TV.
Only one escapes, after years.
Only one talks.
I have seen him in Frankfurt.
He didn’t have a book.
He didn’t have a book stand.
He was out on the square, in the open
on a makeshift platform.
He was very much alone,
although people helped him.
I hope he can have enough peace
to publish a book about his captivity.
I want to see it in every bookstore.
One book for each of them!
Gui Minhai, the bookstore owner, he was sentenced now
for providing intelligence abroad.
How could he do that?
He has been in prison for years,
in secret detention.
He is Swedish, has a Swedish passport.
They let him out briefly
and snatched him again from a train.
He was with Swedish diplomats on his way
to the Swedish embassy.
Must have talked fast then, revealing so many secrets
there on that train, dangerous secrets.
Now they say he says
he wants no foreign passport in prison.
He applied to restore his passport, they say.
They say he does not wish to appeal.
China sentences Hong Kong bookseller.
I guess China
is the sick man of China.

KOLLEGE
ein gedicht
hält keinen panzer auf
aber ein panzerfahrer
schreibt vielleicht ein gedicht
er springt aus seinem eisenhaufen
sitzt unter bäumen
versinkt in gedanken
schreibt solche sätze:
frühling ist noch nicht da
ein paar vögel
landen auf einer grünen kanone
und zwitschern

COMRADE
poetry
won’t stop a tank
but could make a poet
out of the driver
he jumps from his heap of iron
sits down under a tree
gets lost in thought
writes down such lines:
spring has not yet arrived
a few birds
land on a green cannon
twittering

Ma Fei
A CONSOLATION FOR THE LATE MR. ZHANG, MY FORMER TEACHER
In junior high,
there was a character,
I wrote it wrong
again and again,
every time
we had a dictation.
Now I can write it,
I’ll write it for you:
“rain” on the top,
“worms” down at the left,
as in “insects and worms”.
“Inside” at the right,
like “outside and inside”.
I can write it correctly
and make a phrase:
“fog-like haze”.
I can make sentences with “haze”,
many sentences.
Tr. MW, April 2015
Ma Fei
FÜR HERRN LEHRER ZHANG IM HIMMEL ZUM TROST
in der mittelschule
gab es ein zeichen,
das schrieb ich immer falsch.
immer wieder,
jedesmal
beim diktat.
aber jetzt kann ich es schreiben.
ich schreib es dir vor:
oben kommt “regen”,
unten links “würmer”,
wie “insekten und würmer”.
unten rechts “innen”,
wie in “außen und innen”.
und nicht nur das,
ich kann das zeichen gebrauchen:
dunstglocke.
ich kann auch sätze mit “dunst” bilden,
ganz viele sätze.
