Campbell Laird, Colour Event No. 4

If anybody's seen my pink-and-white-striped Izod polo shirt from 1982, we need it for what we're doing today

The pink's about the shade of pale pink happening in that colour event up there, in the middle, above the skinny hot pink streak and below the bubble-gum pink horn shape

We also need the quality of the light that snuck around my bedroom blinds one spring school morning in 1983

what if Proust did aromatherapy instead of writing Remembrance of Things Past?

I'd like to pull something together that you could spritz yourself with, ideally

Heidrun Eskens, SPINDELN, ROSA

The top note

is from the first spring day of your freshman year of high school that's warm enough that you can wear shorts—you can tell by the quality of the light around the blinds, all peachy + an absence of morning chill that today's going to be the day—and right after you have that "shorts day!" epiphany the Psychedelic Furs come on the radio with "Run and Run"

drops a wistful spin on your excitement  helps you remember why you need it

(hey guess what there's a playlist down there so you can cue it up if you want to)

Christine Karron, Summer Sunrise

The middle note

is you're sitting on a dock down at Lake Washington on a Saturday morning with 8 or 9 of your new friends after an 8th grade sleepover, the first with this group.  Somebody's got a portable radio.  Light's bouncing off the water.   You're either wearing that pink and white Izod or you might as well be. People are passing around a bottle of Coppertone.  You have been invited and now here you are, invited + there, with water light bouncing onto you     and the invisible protective light of friendship glowing around you   

Chloe Hedden, Double Hibiscus

The base note is the strongest

it's the absence of suffering.

I'm safe!

I'm free!

            even just for part of today!
