Catullus: “You ask how many of your kisses, Lesbia”
          
          Quaeris, quot mihi basiationes
          tuae, Lesbia, sint satis superque.
          quam magnus numerus Libyssae harenae
          lasarpiciferis iacet Cyrenis
          oraclum Iouis inter aestuosi
          et Batti ueteris sacrum sepulcrum;
          aut quam sidera multa, cum tacet nox,
          furtiuos hominum uident amores:
          tam te basia multa basiare
          uesano satis et super Catullo est,
          quae nec pernumerare curiosi
          possint nec mala fascinare lingua.
          
          .
          
          You ask how many of your kisses, Lesbia
          are more than enough for me.
          How many grains of Libyan sand
          has the stink-weed Sahara cast
          between the oracle of sweating Jove
          and old King Battus’ holy tomb?
          Or when the night is quiet
          how many stars look down
          on the liaisons of lovers?
          More than enough for your crazy Catullus
          would be more kisses kissed
          than the curious could calculate
          or the wicked tongued know to hex.

To honor Halloween, Gizmodo and io9 are presenting a very special editorial package focused on death in its many forms—we’ll be running essays, investigations, and a work of short fiction on what goes on beyond the veil. And as part of it, io9 is announcing an open call for works of short, speculative fiction that interrogate what death might mean, or be, in the future.
