ALHS @alhs.bsky.social transported us from our relaunch into timelessness, reading the mythic & mystic "notes on simultaneity"—published in Headlight 24 🚘 headlightanthology.ca/archive/n24/...

notes on simultaneity

by ALHS

to breathe as you breathe is to say as the cloudbeings said,
let us drink of time
so it was that they unsettled the stillness of an ocean, the cloudbeings
on one side, greed on the other and a mountain for a churn
all that is mortal is mortal at once and god, your likeness,
he bore that cloudpeaked mountain on his back as it turned
and shifted in iridescent dreams
you stood also foremost among the cloudbeings
stirring the ocean into foam and it was you, lichened, who walked ashore
with time and other panacean things: your laughter, your song, your breath
to breathe along
so too were you the breathtaking
with feet poised threatening to leave, meting palmfuls of time
for the cloudbeings (...)

Things have been busy at Headlight—so busy we haven't shared photos from our relaunch at the 4TH SPACE! Here's special guest @manahil.bsky.social closing our event & the opening of Manahil's piece, "Turning Twenty-Four on the Rise of the Sturgeon Moon." Read/listen to the full piece on out site 🚘

Photo of the Headlight relaunch at Concordia's 4th space: six rows of audience members with their backs to the camera and, at the background, Manahil Bandukwala performing at the mic, facing the audience.

Turning Twenty-Four on the Rise of the Sturgeon Moon

by Manahil Bandukwala

A sturgeon, smiling, or swimming. River level rises in late summer. Waist-high. Once it might have engulfed me. Salt. I forgot to look over my shoulder two weeks ago and luck now eludes me.

*

Was I dreaming or is every sky pinker than the last. Snow catches fire five-hundred kilometres north-west of here. Here the sturgeon smiles, and swims. A full moon

morphed, elongated, swishing water and mud at the lake end.

Think hard about wishes
before blowing out
the candles,

careful not to waste any.
