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.

MULAN
Oben ohne
knallt Tante Zhi ihren Nudelteig.
Ihre flachen trockenen Hängebrüste
schaukeln und schlenkern,
manchmal nehmen sie ihr die Sicht. Sie flippt die Brüste auf ihre Schulter, knetet und zieht,
dann fallen sie wieder herunter.
Vom Radio schallt
Ma Jinfeng in der Henan-Oper Hua Mulan
durch die klebrige Luft.
Tante Zhis Pobacken krachen gewaltig im Takt.

伊沙推荐语：又一位山东人（虽然得计入浙江），可见不是所有的山东人都不明辨是非嘛。本诗是今夏绵阳诗会上的订货，我在现场的点评是：写出韵律来了！另外还在私下里夸奖赵教授没有被高校异化，坚守住了诗人的身份。
况禹点评《新诗典》赵思运《花木兰》:擀面的当代大妈和戏曲里上阵的花木兰没有任何相同之处?也未必。她们都在辛苦干活儿，都是劳动者。这一接通，可不得了，作者发现了一条贯穿古今的超级通感。而且本诗对干瘪乳房的描写也是幽默的，善意谐谑的，展示出了在想象、变形方面的手艺。
【亚坤评诗】
花木兰
作者｜赵思运
(内容详见新诗典今日推送)
我的看法，标题“花木兰”其实就是“诗眼”。在本诗中，它起到了精准提炼人物形象并打通诗歌内在精神的作用。
如果没有“花木兰”这个“喻指”，全诗的精气神和人物性格就会失去不少传统意味。
要知道，这首诗是在写一位个性鲜明的，地域文化影响下的老大娘。
本诗人物刻画和细节描写都非常到位。尤其是第一段对“老年乳房”的细节描写，很精彩！光有精彩还不够，本诗还有一种人物性格基础上的“个体幽默”。要知道，诗歌的“幽默性”并不容易。尤其是写地域文化影响下的，经过一生生命沉淀的“老妈妈”！
这个干瘪且摇晃的乳房是一种高浓缩的“生命提纯”！深含生命精神和人格特质！

RETURN TO VIENNA
viennese is the ugliest language
I cannot really tell it apart
vienna was the city of hitler
the city of schirach
vienna was once a city of jews
I am from vienna
viennese is the most beautiful language
vienna was the city of freud
a city of music
I know exactly how it should sound
