from Rogue Heart
by Axie Oh
The dreamers gather in Neo Beijing’s starlight district. The wanderers and the thrill-seekers. Those with poems in their souls and secrets in their hearts. All those racing toward the bright, unknowable future.
All those running from pasts painful and unforgiven.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the song of the city. It’s in the sharp, raucous laughter of the kids barreling down the crowded streets, in the heavy electronic beats erupting like great beasts from basement clubs, in the wind whistling through dark alleys, and in the rain as it drops on to the city like so many falling stars.
Two years ago, I stumbled into the city, half starved and afraid, and I couldn’t hear the song. My heart beat louder than the music.
