Poetry Series  我会送你一首小诗2019-Present



Wistfulness


I lie in this room,

watching the light refracted in layers upon the window,

and two cats chasing and playing.


I think to myself,

how much better it would be without me.

(2019)



糊涂


我躺在这个房间里

看着层层叠叠折射在玻璃上的光

和追逐嬉戏的两只猫

心想

没有我该多好啊


(2019)

Father and Daughter


I boarded the ark,

but sank another.

Only a father and daughter survived.


I am imprisoned,

condemned by history.

It was supposed to be a drill.

Why was a nuclear bomb detonated?

(2020)



父女


我上船了

却把别人的船击沉了

只有一对父女活了下来

要去坐牢了

千古罪人

明明是演习

用的却是原子弹

Lychee


At first, we should imagine a tone of voice.


(In the 1950s)


It is hard to imagine that there is such a corner in this world, 

there is a bath with Roman-style, if it is called as Swimming Pool, it does not match Rome.

It was built specifically for the ladies to take pictures. 
Nobody touch the water, only ripples linger on the shore.

(2020)



力气


我们首先要想象一种语气,

(20世纪50年代)

难以想象的是,在这个世界上存在着这样的角落,
有一个罗马式的浴池,若称之为泳池则与罗马不相匹配。

专门为妇人照相而建造。
没有人下水,只有岸边的涟漪。

Falsehood


My maternal grandmother,

Alzheimer’s disease.

Ask me again and again where will I go.

I said, North Korea, Grandma.

That was the holy land during her golden years,

just as I am now in London.

From 1969 to 1973, North Korea's per capita GDP was three times that of South Korea.

Do you know?

Now you know.

(2021)



谎言


姥姥,

老年痴呆(中性事实通俗意义)。

会一遍又一遍地问我要去哪留学。

我说,在朝鲜,姥姥。

那是她黄金年代的共产圣地,

和我现在在伦敦没有区别。

69年-73年的北韩人均GDP是南韩3倍。

你知道吗?

你不知道。

Footprint


"I won't kill you, I will block you."

"Why? Just because I have a bigger carbon footprint than you?"

(2021)



足迹


“我不会杀了你,我会删了你。“

“干嘛?因为碳排放比你多吗?”


(2021)

Mythology


"My phone screen just cracked."

“Good job."

"That's art."

"You've proven the boundaries of dimensions with facts.”

"So, the boundary of dimensions is a glass screen?"

“Just go repair the rift please.”

“Like Nüwa mending the sky?”

(2022)


神话


“给我手机屏幕坐裂了”

“好活”

“艺术了”

“用事实证明了维度的边界”

“维度的边界是一块玻璃屏”

“赶紧去修补次元壁吧”

“女娲补天”


(2022)
