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.

We're here! The most Literary magazine of all time. People don't even think this thing is real and can't even acknowledge it in this insular ass community where we are all tightly interconnected within one or two degrees of each other! Open the gates. We need some breathing room!

The amount of work to rebuilt platforms and reach listeners, readers, writers—it is so much. What a burden. What a senseless burden.
