chaturanghing montreal

chaturanghing
as, with, in,
on montreal. on mont-royal.

intimacy with stones. a stone ledge overlooking the trance dance tamtam late pm sunday pow wow.

bowing to what comes.
always in motion. gratitude not a fixed thing.  
spanda: the pulsation divine.

kissing beloved gaïa.
even in her stiff asphalt garment she is FULL support pour toutes nos folies.

all our postures and positionings, composures and compostings. arrogance and melt downs. shames, glories and redemptions.

heels over head.
enjoying the change of outlook.
not knowing what's to come next. tik hai.

treeplanting, fort nelson, northern bc
a strange underworld in the nineteen hundreds where

first load, chopper, bagging up, highballers and rookies, [smoking, eating, sleeping or hiding at] the cash, crème, crémer, se faire crémer, shannon motel, liard hotsprings, campcosts, day off, "le reefer est en retard", "just one more shift"...

really meant something...

 

 

 

who says country living

 who says country living 

should be boring? 

is it a place where wild ones red necks simple hearts mingle? those not intimidated by snow removal contracts, fullspectrum buglife and vanishing anonymity? 

with a quiet murmur of frog songs inside their chest and eyes that can rest into the horizon?
