(((感官之夜))) Weeks ago I was running towards the ocean on the coastal street while there was the heaviest snowstorm I have ever experienced in my life. The eyeball-like snow, the mouth-like ocean, and the knife-like wind - I shall never ever forget you all. That smell of highest joy and death…
Here are some memories from the camera and iPhone:

‘a play ::: selbdritt’
by Duo Han + Li Qing @paia4700
We performed a poem called ‘a play ::: selbdritt’ I wrote in response to Paul Celan’s poem ‘Count the Almonds’
I extract the "selbdritt" (translated as "you three") from ‘Count the Almonds’ as a triangular structure, replacing the original Old German term's reference to "Saint Anne - Virgin Mary - Jesus" with a new set of relationships. Thus, I arrange a clear geometric structure for this poem: the upper half is divided into left and right panels by a rectangular table, representing the "Du" (you) and "Ich" (I) in Celan's poem, while the third figure in the original poem (the dead, Das Tote) is placed in the lower half.
In the new poem, "you," "I," and "the dead" have clear but not explicitly stated corresponding roles—"you" is a counselor/psychotherapist, "I" is a boxer/fighter, and "the dead" is some object capable of inscribing or recording time, perhaps a clock or a recorder.
The healer is also the interrogator; the one who endures violence is also the one who inflicts it; the inanimate and impersonal object observes, records, and engages in dialogue, yet seems at any moment to participate in judgment. Their monologues/dialogues cycle endlessly in a countdown akin to counting almonds.

‘a play ::: selbdritt’ (戏剧::: Selbdritt)
::: will be performing a poem I wrote called ‘a play ::: selbdritt’ in response to Paul Celan‘s ‘Count the Almonds’ with Qing.
@paia4700
::: Qing said Celan‘s original poem is like self-hanging and mine is like drowning to death…
::: anyway i did try something fresh and challenging while rewriting this one. i want no continuation or adaption which take no risks. i want to haunt you Paul just like what you did to that high school boy. lets count together.
(P3 is my poem but no English translation yet)
