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 (...)

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.
