      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the middle of the night I realize
I was pronounced dead by you
six months ago.
Erased, like scribblings on a whiteboard
         wiped              away.
<br>
You carefully scheduled the world to collapse.
Then, you stole from me and overwrote everything.
   memories             unreadable map
   my words             weightless tides
   your face              foreign island
<p></p><br>
I drift          in a wasteful search for something
                    to hold on to
I reach        the edge of the world. The water
                    tranquil, through a glimpse of sunrise
I see            stairs built by your lies.
I climb. I touch. I push. The door opens.
<p></p><br>
            <em>It has always been open.</em></p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>when it cools down,
my words fade with the summer haze.</p>



<p>I first arrived on a cool summer day like today,
when my English was broken.</p>

<p>the fragments of my memories are not neutral, I am told.
the way I string the fragments is not neutral.
my memories are not neutral.
I am not neutral.</p>

<p>I learned to string words into sentences,
sentences into meaning,
meaning into me.</p>

<p>in order to be Neutral,
I have to break me.
First into new words,
then string words into sentences,
sentences into meaning,
meaning into me.</p>

<p>if only I knew
to unbreak my English is to break me.</p>

      <title>沐浴露</title>

      <description>&lt;![CDATA[大概两年前，有位朋友送了我一瓶沐浴露，闻着还挺香的。她说Costco打折时买了一大箱，不介意的话拿去用吧。那段时间我们还挺频繁见面，也有一起旅游。&#xA;&#xA;!--more--&#xA;&#xA;身体乳上写的香味是椰香，实际闻起来是奶香味。有时我会回想起旅行中我们慢慢开始没话讲。交换完了生活故事和八卦，我们就一起听歌，重温相似的童年回忆。不过她因为没有付费，用Spotify放歌的过程中会出现广告，所以最终还是我来放歌。&#xA;&#xA;尽管对香味的印象还不错，用完她送的这瓶以后我没有再买过同款。&#xA;&#xA;此后我和她的友谊也慢慢开始被搁置。没有什么特别的原因，要说的话反倒是刚开始建立友谊有一些原因，比如疫情，比如刚好都是中国人。上一次见面大概是俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后没多久。我讲了一些我的想法，她点头听完以后说，不过乌克兰也不是完全没错的吧。&#xA;&#xA;她的语气没有恶意，只是平淡的自然的，就好像去咖啡厅要拍照打卡、拍照时要用美颜相机一样自然。我在B站上看到有些博主这么分析，她补充道。&#xA;&#xA;前段时间在超市闲逛，正好看到那款沐浴露打折。货架上有四种不同的香味并排摆着，我打开每一种的盖子闻，虽然感觉椰香的比我印象中要香，但最终还是选了它。因为用过所以感觉很熟悉，而且当时还挺喜欢的，应该没问题吧？&#xA;&#xA;回家后用它洗澡的第一次，我就发现它确实很香，太香了。到底是我的嗅觉从失常到正常，还是从正常到失常？又或许是没有什么失常正常之分，只是我的嗅觉变了。&#xA;&#xA;用完这一瓶，就当是道别吧。下次路过货架的时候，我不会买这款沐浴露了。]]&gt;</description>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>从哪一天起我们不再谈论大象？
列车停摆的那一天
发出最后一封邮件的那一天
或是你下定决心的那一天
我没有答案</p>

<p>从我们不再谈论大象的那一天起，大象
就住进了我的家
我的家是大象，桌子椅子绿植是大象</p>

<p>我也是大象，曾经活在你信里的大象
如今寄居于歌里、无法递出的明信片里
是我们不再谈论的大象
是我</p>

walking in an extended dream
extending beyond memories</p>

<p>memories come rise and fall
rise with tides and consume me whole</p>

<p>unfurl me, like unfurling a roll of bubblegum and get
endless strips of summer
summers of waves and waves of summer</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>在下雪的晚上我睁着眼
只因窗外的光比平时亮</p>

<p>此刻 我只想把雪花交到你的手上
你也可以把它再传给别人
直到他们的
我们的
所有的雪花
铺成一片空白的横幅</p>

<p>直到所有的雪花都不再落下
直到所有的雪花都站在一起</p>

<p>在下雪的晚上我睁着眼
只因在等待这一刻到来</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I only want to exist in the cracks,
in between two worlds,
a perpetual tourist.</p>

<p>I only want to exist with limited beauty,
sharp spikes, rough edges.</p>



<p>I only want to exist in more than one language,
my emotions span across them,
my thoughts run wild, without
a place to call home.</p>

<p>I only want to exist as ink,
a drop of me stains your fingertip for days.</p>

<p>I only want to exist as a piece of paper—
blank, empty, held
in protesters’ hands,
no words &amp; no sound.
Fall on the floor upon their arrest,
as if I had never existed.</p>
