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 (...)

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.

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."

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!
