乖

别哭——乖！
我的小乖乖，
我没有别的只有你。

别跑，乖
我的小兔子，
要知道你没有腿。

别喊，乖
我的小疯子，
大家都知道你已喝醉。

别做梦，乖
我的小傻瓜，
梦里带你飞的都是魔鬼。

别活，乖
最乖的快过来排成一队。

乖不乖？乖不乖？
我的小心肝小宝贝。

brav sein

nicht weinen – sei brav!
mein kleiner liebling,
du bist alles, was ich hab.

nicht laufen, sei brav,
mein kleiner hase,
musst wissen, dass du keine beine hast.

nicht schreien, sei brav,
mein kleiner irrer,
alle wissen, dass du betrunken bist.

nicht träumen, sei brav,
mein kleiner dummkopf,
das ist der teufel, der im traum mit dir fliegt.

nicht leben, sei brav,
die liebsten kommen gleich zum schlange stehen.

bist du jetzt brav oder nicht?
mein kleines baby mein schatz.

LÜ Yue

吕约

* 05.11.1972, Hubei Province, China
lives in: Beijing, China

LÜ Yue (pseudonym of LÜ Yalan) born in 1972, lives in Beijing and is Editor-in-Chief of the Beijing News. She gained her doctorate in Literature in 2014. In her poems she combines journalistic materials with poetic elements. She is notable for her clear and courageous language in which she draws attention to the absurdity of the ‘current events’ being talked about – a subtle form of criticism, also of traditional social power structures. In her texts she introduces a feminist perspective which is fractured by an ironic and sometimes sarcastic tone. Comedy effects meet linguistic complexity and a profound awareness of history. Literary critic Zhu Dake describes LÜ Yue’s play with the ambiguities of Chinese idioms as confusing and attractive at the same time, like an optical illusion created by the “irregular stripes in a tiger’s fur”. LÜ Yue’ awards include the Luo Yihe Poetry Prize.
