II Autumn rises and so too the sounds not cacophonous as Spring with its defiant raging against grief but precise and particular in its clarity of temperate things, the clatter of utensil against your teeth, a pinpoint twang, the bee's mandible scraping against the wine glass, crisp in its hunger, the divestment of the afternoon's dew slowly run dry as a sigh, the grammar of the movement along pavement, when boot meets falling heel, the tin bucket counting the plummeting drops of rain, easy in their counting, the elongated cross-country train stalled on the Runneymede bridge slacking in its rest and soil-wearied sides, the heave countable in late October, cattle awaiting in line for food and brushing and the shade of crackling temperatures, acalm.

Gary Michael Dault TORONTO: A NOVEL Chapter 56 Coal decided to call Linc before Bliss Carmen turned up to reclaim her dog Fish. He answered the phone, but he was way out at the beaches. Coal could hardly hear him over the wind whistling off the lake. “What’s the shoot?” she asked him. “Mens’ Windbreakers!” he shouted into the phone. “Lacoste, Fred Perry, Adidas, nothing special.” “When will you be back?” “Three, four hours,” Linc told her. “Another two hours here, and an hour trying to buck the traffic home. Why?” “You remember that Bliss Carmen character? The one who owns Fish?” “Hard to forget,” bellowed Linc over the tumult of the onshore breezes. “I hope she’s taking Fish home with her?” “Apparently she is. I’m actually more concerned though about her role in those murder threats the Mayor was getting. It was her lunatic boyfriend that painted them, remember?” “You think she’s dangerous?” “Well, I don’t know” said Coal. “I’m pretty anxious about her coming here.” “I’ll be there as soon as I can,” Linc told her and hung up. Half an hour later the intercom buzzed. “What kind of a dumb, pansified place is this anyhow?” roared Bliss into the speaker. “Mr. prettyboy Security guard here seems to think I’m some kind of goddam intruder or something.”.  .............

Shelley Savor Caffeine Reveries More   The Paint Chip Project by Shelley Savor Exhibit dates Oct. 15-26, 2014 Opening: Sat. 25, 2:00-6:00 The hardware store has endless possibilities for changing your life. Intrigued by the many colours and titles of paint chips, I decided to collect them. These small fields of colour provide the background for explorations of the human condition. Collisions of urban life and nature, emotions spilling over in the living room, the challenge of commuting, adapting to the environment, both interior and exterior, rural and urban, are explored on colour samples such as ‘Golden Raisin’, ‘Sardinia Green’, Blackboard Grey’, and Wisteria Blue.
