Do you understand? When I am done telling you these stories, when you’re done listening to these stories, I am no longer I, and you are no longer you. In this afternoon we briefly merged into one. After this, you will always carry a bit of me, and I will always carry a bit of you, even if we both forget this conversation.
—Hao Jingfang, ‘Invisible Planets,’ in Invisible Planets: Contemporary Chinese Science Fiction in Translation, tr. & ed. Ken Liu

goosefire girl—
wild. hungry.
every poem I’ve written is a burning.
did you think you could run from me?
my matchstick blaze and your apple core.
I eat you open-hearted under the noon sky.
did you think you could be free of me?
I birthed these hands, pulled out these veins.
singlehandedly I built the mirror maze in your mind—
did you think I wouldn’t catch up? crossbow loaded gun cocked ready aim fire did you think I was too far away?
did you think we were two entities, separate and whole?
did you think you could live if I wasn’t swallowing you cold?
I’ve told you—
infinite.
Venetta Octavia, mania screams
