Shamanic Drugs
Natural Highs and Death Trips

Back in the days of the forest camps,when small bands of concerned citizens shared extraordinary times and amazing experiences in remote mountain rainforests  – to stop the logging of ancient old growth forests and the destruction of unknown species – this rambunctious heretic witnessed many strange things.
 
 Living in the deep forests for years – even relatively human-friendly ones like the money-torn remnants of primordial Eden we have here in Oz – you tend to see and experience all sorts of things that no-one else does. It takes all kinds to make and break a world – but it takes a really special bunch of visionary people to stop the world-destroying rapists who say ‘you can’t stop the march of progress’. Most of the extraordinary forest you can see from the windows of this isolated antipodean Pentagon where my fingers dance on the keyboard has been saved – turned into unexploitable National Parks and conservation areas – but that’s a story for another time.

            Today I’m reminiscing about some of the crazy needle freaks and junkies we had to share the camps and consort with, in places where any disease could easily spread through the clans of pierced ferals, peace hippies and pissed-off aboriginals assembled beneath the canopy. You couldn’t turn anyone away from the anarchic teepees of the metal-pierced, dreadlocked feral tribes. Everyone had a right to be there – and we needed everyone who could make it to the almost inaccessible areas we found ourselves in. We had to keep ourselves healthy, or lose the forest.

Some of the people arriving in the camps were trying to come down off their high habits and go cold turkey a long way from their homes, so we cooked up poppy seed juice for them to ease their discomfort – and keep needles out of the camps. After a while, poppy seeds were banned – you couldn’t buy them unless you were a commercial baker for a time – but with a little lemon juice to help break down the simmering seed stew this simple expedient helped junkies through the worst of their withdrawals.

It’s from watching the experiences (or lack of them) of others that the wise learn their lessons. As a young runaway teen I saw many friends go down beneath the magic bullets of the ongoing opium wars. I saw the needle and the damage done. They dropped like flies all around me or were horrendously crippled in a multitude of ways – and this particular hermetic hermit always avoided needles as a result.

Besides, the Goddess gave us great filter systems – lungs and digestive organs – to take our drugs with. It’s foolish and greedy to bypass the filters and go straight for the mainline – particularly with something that’s recently been handled by some junkie’s sweaty fingers. As the hippies always said, avoid the powders – don’t panic if it’s organic.

A couple of guys in particular stick in my mind now – gents and wimmin who will remain nameless (until the story’s told in detail at some future time), who tried everything under the sun, moon and stars. You may not be aware that many ‘intravenous drug users’ – as ignorant bureaucracies love to call needle freaks, regardless of whether they’re shooting stuff into their veins or eyes or muscles – will go on using needles even when they have no drug to put in them.

Over the decades I’ve seen desperate smackies shoot up water, wine, spirits, various other beverages including mentholated spirit and Pepsi, bong water, vegemite, battery acid, bleach, shoe polish, soap – the list goes on and on (Don’t try this at home, kids). Many needle users are addicted to the implement, the device, the fit, the sheer rush of invading their own bloodstreams - and will fill a hypodermic and their organs with whatever they can squeeze through the rectum of any available syringe.

But the prize for brazen consumptive appetite (and not a little stupidity) goes to the guys who were connoisseurs of snake venom– ‘the ultimate death-trip high’, as one dreadlocked dreamer called it in the forest camps. They’d catch venomous snakes on the fringes of the rainforests around the protest camps and milk them for their venom. Perhaps you can guess the rest, but I’ll tell you anyway.

“Getting the dosage right is the hard part,” one of them said to me once. “You don’t want to go to all that trouble and not use enough.”

The strange congruence of hollow needle and hollow fang really got them going – but they didn’t take the stuff direct from the snake (well – only one guy, anyway); they measured and mixed the destructive proteins with other drugs, shooting the venom directly into their veins. And they mixed various venoms together in different proportions as well. Everyone’s fear of ‘deadly’ snakes was somewhat allayed by watching the results – which is to say that miraculously, none of them died; not on my watch, at least, and not that we heard of. Not from shooting up snake venom, anyway… not straight away.

They had visions and nightmares, deliriums and wild rapping poetry sessions that continued in polluted streams of consciousness until they rocked themselves into shivering trances beneath the primordial canopy. Some kept on tripping all night, delivering missives from the Other Side to those assembled around the fires and firestick twirlers. I won’t divulge which particular venoms did which (they’re all destructive poisons, remember), and besides – after the needle-freak ferals had tried each in turn they started mixing even more arcane cocktails. There are much better drugs, folks, that don’t come with the same hefty price tag.



Oz has many snakes; around here we have the friendly pythons and other harmless tree snakes aplenty, but where the trees are decimated there are many poisonous black snakes – red-bellied, yellow-bellied and pure black, all races of a single species; ‘deaf’ death adders, who are not really deaf – a relative of the rattler; venomous browns and king browns, impressive cousins of the cobra; toxic ‘bandy bandy’ banded snakes with fascinating stripes; the sometimes aggressive beautifully striped tiger snakes; tiny, beautiful, deadly western taipans, and many other lesser-known breeds.

As in most ancient cultures, the serpent is a symbol of the energies of Mother Earth for the Aboriginal people here – and the serpent dancer is a respected shaman in many cultures as well, even represented in the Western constellations as Ophiuchius, the snake dancer (not serpent slayer, as some erroneous texts suggest). The Rainbow Serpent is a major feature of many creation legends in parts of the Great Southland.

Almost no-one actually dies of snakebite unless they’re very old, very young, pregnant or sick. No-one is bitten unless they first molest the snake in some way – picking it up, trying to move it, attacking it or playing with it. Around here there hasn’t been a fatality for over a generation. Nonetheless, when you walk barefoot in this rugged country you watch every step for a number of reasons. “Every step is a prayer,” as the aboriginal elders are often fond of saying in their double-meaning, straight-talking manner. After a while you understand why we all used to sleep with our babies.

This experienced bushwalker usually watches every step.

Now I can tell you from first-hand experience what snake venom can be like, when directly injected by fang. Aye, this hermetic heretic became a little too lackadaisical this week and trod on one of the poor wee beasties while walking barefoot a couple of klicks from home, on a rugged mountain slope. The small jet black serpent turned and nipped me between the toes and then slithered out of sight. It’s the third time a snake has bitten me – but the other two were non-venomous pythons.

When you’re bitten you’re supposed to stay still and not pump he venom around your system. Above all, you don’t panic – blood-pumping fear can jet the toxins around your bloodstream even more quickly. It’s said that with many snake-bites, the poison won’t kill you but the panic will. If possible, it’s a good idea to apply a pressure bandage; a tourniquet is dangerous, particularly if you’re alone.

None of these options were really available to me, except for the ‘not panicking’ part; alone on a mountainside, nothing to use as a bandage, out of range of all technological communication gear (which there’s no point having out here anyway) and with Wonder Boy due back on the school bus in an hour, there was little choice but to saunter back while my legs were still working.

By the time my foot reached the little wooden shack at the bottom of the valley it was swollen, red and painful and my leg was stiffening up slightly, but my heartbeat was still pretty normal. My vision was just a little blurry. There was enough time to lie down and relax for ten minutes and have a hit of fresh cherry guavas, collected from trees lining the paths on the way back.

No point in alarming Wonder Boy or my friends and neighbours – and I judged the effects to be merely painful, not really life threatening. Yoga, alternative medicine training and meditation can help you differentiate between the various effects and happenings in your body, which soon ceases to be unfamiliar territory after a little practice, visualisation and study.

The previous night I’d just finished recording my shamanic death experience at the age of seventeen in glorious psychedelic Technicolor (posted athttp://centraxis.blogspot.com/2008/03/to-infinity-and-beyond.html– Shaman of Centraxis Part 4). The confluence of the death theme has been a presentiment right through these Ides of March – and death is merely a symbol of utter transformation, which is what the hermetic life is all about.

So in order to penetrate the veil of mystery that protects the fearful from knowledge of themselves and the beyond, I guided my confused and concerned body and mind through the brainstorm of warning imagery that guards the gate to the Other Side of this life.

For a while I was trying to work out the origin of the strange radiating circular patterns superimposed over my vision. A green many-pointed star hovered in a purple field with curving lines radiating out from it. Trying to count the points of the star, my inner perception turned around the star, trying to count the points – but as I counted them they shifted and I soon realised I was viewing a stereo image made of the confluence of two different shapes – the blind spots where the optic nerves enter the back of my eyes and the bundles radiating out from them.

Beamish Boy’s mother is a vet who has had occasion to speak with other people who’ve been bitten by blacksnakes. “They described it as a complete trip,” she says. “One girl told me it was the strongest psychedelic she’d ever experienced – and she’d experienced a lot.

Wonder Boy’s mother, a Shiatsu practitioner, had another take; “The native people say when you’re bitten by one of those you gain some sort of special healing ability.”

The venom made for a very colourful and psychedelic experience.. Half-way through the peak, O’Grady asked a question out of the blue that led to a very long spiel; “What do you think happens when you die?”

Well, friends, it’s a question that seems particularly prominent at the present time – and not simply in my life, here in a remote rainforest. All over the world, many, many people know – or suspect – that something big in the way of megadeath is coming. Many put the feeling down to the impending realities of climate catastrophe, or to the stark realities facing most of the world’s ripped off ‘underprivileged’ people, as they stumble from one day to the next without real food or pure water – or the time, energy or training for the reflection and self-examination required to change themselves and the world. With free time people can transform themselves and the planet into something far closer to the ideals glowing in every human heart. Without it, humans are simply slaves in an open prison.

Others fear the Day of Judgment, the Wrath of God, the Return of Planet X, tidal waves, earthquakes, megastorms, a new ice age, all of the above or their own private, personal extinction in a world that doesn’t teach children what lives inside their skin and brain.

Some go the other way, preferring to see the coming changes as the birth of a New Humanity, a new star-child emerging amid the paroxysmal birth-pangs of planetary transformation. Some see rapture for themselves and their ‘chosen elect’ friends, or an en masse species transit to ‘higher’ dimensions.

But wherever you go, there you are.

photo Rather than repeating my reply to O’Grady here, I’d rather ask you these questions; how do you know you’re alive now? How do you know the difference between life and a particularly vivid dream? Is there a difference? Who are you, really? What do you need, and why?

And why are you reading this, hearing this questioning message from your inner self?

The hard part of surviving the future is not coping with death or extinction or nuclear war or asteroid strikes – the real challenge is to work out what LIFE is for, here and now, and to learn how to keep living in a world that we won’t leave behind, where we really have to clean up our mess or suffocate in our own shit and chemical debris – regardless of whether we’re heating up the biosphere or not. The challenge is the same old story – how do we have a good time with all our brothers and sisters without trashing the Tree of Life that is home to us all? How can we be wise, honourable, integral custodians of Planet Earth?

The challenge for the humans of the New Aeon is to recreate our birthright – the Paradise planet, the Garden of Gaia – and to stay here to enjoy it!

Your parents and grandparents were happy and satisfied to be lied to by those who still get away with stealing the wealth and knowledge of the Earth (and everywhere else) for themselves  – are you?

Turn on. Tune in. Opt OUT of the world-destroying treadmill!

Money does NOT make the world go round – it makes it go down! Find the only things that matter – your true self, true friends and loving family. Together we create reality with the combined inspiration of our shared dreams and actions. Let’s build a better future – from the inside out.

What’s inside? Who are you? Why are you here? What’s outside, behind the screen and the wall?

Take a good look.

    The original Nexusmobile survived only a few years carrying heavy cargoes of alternative magazines around the Great Southern Land. Even before the shaman had acquired it, the battered van bore deep scars inflicted by innumerable heavy steel safes, transported between warships and storehouses for its previous owner, the Royal Australian Navy.
     
    The Nexusmobile trundled all over the continent, carting magazines and books from mazes of urban back lanes to unmarked dirt tracks in remote bushland, en route between every newsagent, bookshop, health food store and hippy head shop in the Great Southern Land. The six wheeled Mazda - sporting double rear rims - bore its burdens well, regardless of manifold surface nicks, bumps and scars. The workhorse finally came to grief during the fateful weekend the shaman decided to buy the deed to a parcel of paradise from an old friend.
     
    The landholding was halfway between the two largest cities on the Pacific coast, situated as far as possible from what passed for civilisation in the salubrious easterly fringe of Oz. The shaman prince had travelled northward from the Emerald City, distributing magazines to sundry outlets by day and making love with his girlfriend Reema on a comfy bed in the back of the cluttered van each night.
     
    They wended a northerly course through towns and villages, zigzagging across the main highway to reach disparate little settlements until they exhausted their supply of the latest editions of Nexus New Times, the Permaculture Journal and Internal Alchemy. On the second day of the return journey they picked up a pair of young hitchhiking travellers – Ona, a quietly spoken willowy blond Scandinavian girl and Mark, her partner and guide; a curly-haired Austrian roughneck who filled the rollicking miles with sly questions and dry jests.
     
    After a couple of smokes and a feast of chocolate coated macadamia nuts, Ona divulged a heartfelt wish to see a real antipodean rainforest. With only a few days left in the country, she sorely regretted the fact that her visit had been spent almost exclusively in cities and towns, or on touristy stretches of nearby white sand beaches. When apprised of the distributors’ destination the couple happily agreed to come along and inspect the remote, steeply inclined two hundred acre wood that reared up and up from the banks of a dazzlingly beautiful crystal clear stream.
     
    The land was way off the beaten track. Ona had rarely been out of an urban centre and Mark reckoned he’d never been inside a real rainforest. They were all keen to see an actual subtropical jungle and inspect their driver’s prospective new home. Not long after they ventured off the highway and began bouncing down a long and winding dirt road the visitors saw their first real, live kangaroo in its native habitat. The bounding marsupial kept pace with the Nexusmobile for a handful of heartbeats before bouncing up the side of a nearly sheer cliff on the edge of the road. Ona gasped while Mark’s ‘ooh’s and ‘ah’s drowned out the squeaks and rattles of the aging van.
     
    The block was unoccupied when they arrived, with weedy grass growing shaggy and wild as the shamanic driver’s hair. Until a few weeks earlier, Ram’s erstwhile spouse – an illegitimately noble Japanese woman with whom he’d earlier lived for several years - had cohabited the unpretentious little cabin with Ricco, a lofty wisecracking hippy who originally hailed from Chicago. Aussie-born ‘Asian Zsuzsi’ (as the local hillbillies knew her) had swiftly hooked up with Ram’s old friend a few months after their surprisingly mature and amicable parting.
     
    The shaman had visited the century old shack in one hardworking little van or another many times, while wending his way around the countryside distributing the latest issues of Nexus New Times Magazine and its prototype, Maggie’s Farm. The isolated, nearly self-sufficient couple were always glad to see him (or just about anyone else) pull up on the hairpin bend of the dusty track that followed the course of a serpentine stream.
     
    The landscape surrounding their primitive little home was unbelievably beautiful. During his travels throughout much of the island continent Ramses had never seen anywhere to compare with the land where Ricco and Zsuzsi lived an ideal life in a perfect climate on the banks of their pretty little stream, surrounded by vast slumberous forests.  
     
    Their small cabin was a durable, hand wrought hardwood cattle shed that had been cool enough to reliably set and separate cream in the warm subtropical climate, back in the days when dairy farms filled all the eastern valleys - before the small milk farmers went bust and freed up vast acreages of suddenly inexpensive land for hordes of hippies who craved escape from the urbane inanity of an old Cold War.
     
    Ricco had lived there a dozen years; with Zsuzsi for almost two. They seemed utterly happy together, even though the much younger woman was occasional riven by bouts of semi-hysteria in the face of unaccustomed isolation; she was consequently oft compelled to visit the city for various forms of diverting entertainments. A score of moons before Reema filled his nights and days with wry observations, excruciating puns, unique insights and athletic sex, Ram’yana had been Zsuzsi’s most enduring divertissement for several eventful years.  
     
    The shaman visited whenever he had the chance, quietly envying the wonderfully peaceful life his friend and former lover were building. They were slowly constructing a two storey masterwork of brick and timber in a hidden valley, preparing to grow older together in the approaching dawn of the new millennium.
     
    He couldn’t believe Ricco would ever contemplate selling up and leaving the place.
     
    One dark windy night of that strangely mild winter, an unexpected marauder arrived in the quiet little vale. A home invader decked out in dark leather and a black woollen balaclava turned up and kicked their ramshackle door from its hinges. He held the hastily wakened couple hostage with Ricco’s own loaded rifle, which he’d found behind the unlocked door. He tied the lanky Yank to a chair and forced Zsuzsi - naked and terrified – up a ladder at gunpoint after gagging his victims. Then he hogtied the gorgeous young woman onto her wood-framed futon bed in the couple’s cosy loft. Ricco struggled to extricate himself while Zsuzsi’s muffled cries mingled with grunts, creaks and sounds of slapping flesh as an even more hideous invasion transpired upstairs.
     
     
    After an excruciatingly long time the sated burglar climbed back down the makeshift ladder. He untied Ricco and marched his captive into the hidden valley, where he tied him to a gum tree and began a violent interrogation. He bashed the peaceful hippy with his own rifle butt until the battered Yank was convinced to hand over his stash. The gunman’s last words – delivered in an obviously faked Shwartznegger accent along with the rest of his curt commands – were “Get out of the valley - or else.” A few hours later Ricco set himself free and untied his distraught young Japanese princess.
     
    They swiftly departed and decided to sell up and leave their home the very next day.
     
    A few months later Ram’yana arrived with giddy young Reema and the pair of wide eyed hitchhikers. The shack was half hidden behind head-high grasses when they pulled up in the overgrown driveway. “It’s so green!” Ona exclaimed as she picked her way through violet flowers of wild vervain and tall stands of Stinking Roger.
     
    “Always is, hereabouts,” Ram told her. The shack’s only door had been hastily repaired and the small building was securely locked, so the foursome shared a fine picnic on the banks of the pristine stream.
     
    “What are you looking for?” Reema asked, watching her mate shield his eyes as he stared into the glittering waters.
     
    “A tortoise,” he told her.
     
    “There seem to be plenty…”
     
    “A particular tortoise…” He finally spied a familiar white cross painted on the back of what appeared to be a swimming rock and pointed it out; “ ‘X’ marks the spot!” he announced. “Still here…”
     
    “What is?” Ona asked.
     
    “It’s a long story…”
     
    “It’s a long day,” Reema pointed out, so the shaman told them the story of the tortoise that had first brought him to this deep swimming hole in the bend of the serpentine creek [See Wild Life 12: ‘Second Chance Tortoise’].
     
    After a huge picnic lunch they wandered through a few cool acres of recovering subtropical rainforest, feasting their senses on old buttressed trees and tangling vines. The strangely aromatic woodland was festooned with bird’s nest ferns, Elkhorn, Staghorn, wild tree orchids and Old Man’s Beard. Myriad colourful avian creatures flittered about in the shaded heat of a perfect summer’s day.
     
    The couples meandered hand in hand, taking their time exploring the unfamiliar bushland and frequently drawing apart to stop and explore each other more intimately. Wallabies thumped away from the urbane clumsiness of their footfalls and unknowable marsupials and reptiles rustled through impenetrable thickets of imported lantana and spikier native vines.
     
    While their guests disappeared beneath the shadowy canopy of the wild arboretum, Reema and Ram doffed sweaty clothes to cuddle and kiss in a perfectly circular black basalt pool. They climbed from the pool naked and dripping and made love beneath a small tumbling waterfall, caressing and moaning, fucking and sucking in sheeting cascades of crystalline water; eager flesh slapping and thrumming and drumming to the singsong accompaniment of raucous birds and resonant frog calls.
     
    When they heard the others returning the lovers donned their clothes, and they all walked further together through miraculous growths of forested groves and engaging gorges of water-carved stone. By the time they finished wandering round the more easily accessed bits of the vacated block daylight was fading fast, so they decided to visit an acquaintance who’d invited them to stay overnight in another tributary of the convoluted river system. They clambered into the Nexusmobile and bid the land adieu as the van was enveloped in a dusty cloud of eroded dirt road.
     
     
     
     
    “Where is it?” Mark asked a half hour later, when they stopped on the bank of a surprisingly wide stream in a nearby vale. The van’s bright lights cut twin swathes through the gathering gloaming. “Just over there, out of sight,” Ram told him, “around the next bend on the other side.”
     
    “And this is the way across?” Mark asked, eyeing the river with a furrowed brow. “You’re certain we can make it?”
     
    “Sure.” Ram’s wink met Reema’s dubious stare. He tried to fill his deep voice with a resolute confidence he didn’t quite feel, while his eyes scanned the creek for a sign of the largely missing causeway; “I’ve been across here a dozen times.”
     
    It had been a particularly wet year and the river had altered its course. Nonetheless, when he climbed down to assay the gravelly ford that led to his friend Grey’s small house he judged it passable in the dimming light, and climbed back into the cabin to gun the engine. Yet when they crossed the watercourse and reached the middle, the channel proved unexpectedly deep where the swollen river had gouged away a deep stretch of river bottom in a recent flood. The Nexusmobile wallowed and shifted as it struggled for purchase on the loose muddy bed. At one point it lifted clear of the muck-covered gravel and the engine revved wildly as the vehicle freewheeled in surprisingly deep water before gaining a fraction of traction on the far muddy bank.
     
    They barely made it up the other side. Grey, their host, lived alone in another isolate wood, dwelling in the only house on the far side of the unpredictable river. His identical twin brother Pale dwelt on the more populous side of the valley, in a slightly better-appointed old farmhouse with mains power and sundry mod cons like a fridge and TV.
     
    Grey was glad of the company and feted his visitors with all manner of treats while they filled his small wooden house with welcome gossip, news and the boisterous gaiety of itinerant young lovers. The walls were decked in Rastafarian posters, tricoloured flags and Himalayan artefacts. Rainbow glades of crystals, gemstones and colourful bric-a-brac inhabited all available surfaces and fruit bats filled the night with chirrups and screeches as rainclouds rolled in from the west.
     
    The voices of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh boomed from a small set of low voltage speakers powered by a solar powered amp and their host’s herbal supplies were second to none. Grey was a near-constant international traveller on a short break in his humble home, readying himself for another pilgrimage through India and Nepal. In the latter years of the last millennium he was truly a dreadlocked head of his time.
     
    As the van was still partly filled with returned unsold magazines, Reema and Ram took a bed in the flood-prone house, sharing a large spare room with the other lovers. The room was spare in more ways than one. Glass doors opened onto a small sward of lush grass before a wall of dark forest. The only furnishings were a bed and a second mattress arrayed on a raised section of wooden flooring. As they lit a large handmade candle and a cracked kero lantern, a barrage of rain began thundering down on the chamber’s roof, drowning the speakers beneath a thunderous roar.
     
    “The room isn’t quite finished,” Grey said by way of apology for the muddy dirt floor, “but you’ll be high and dry in here,” he assured them, pointing to a broad raised section of wooden floorboards. “You’ll have to decide who the queen of the castle is, though.” He bid them a hearty “Goodnight!” before adding; “I may have to start the pump soon – hope you don’t mind…” He tidied up a few stray items and lit a handful of joss sticks while Reema pulled Ram to the wooden floor and threw him onto the squeaky bed. She drew the cover across them both before tugging his shirt off, and pulled her loose summer dress over long golden hair.
     
    Mark and Ona seemed unencumbered by notions of modesty and hurriedly stripped off all their clothes in the damp subtropical heat. Even before Grey left the room they began making love atop their bedding on the nearby mattress. Their boldness inspired Reema to unpeel the thin blanket and bedsheet from her naked body in the flickering lamplight. She mounted her lover’s stave with a heartfelt sigh and began riding him with brazen pride, keeping her eyes on Ona’s man while rising and falling with accelerating abandon. Mark climbed atop the winsome Scandinavian girl, who wrapped lean brown legs around his waist and moaned his name aloud. He pounded her into the mattress beside Ram’yana, matching Reema thrust by thrust.
     
    Thunder cracked in the lightning-rent night and Grey cranked up the Reggae beat; Reema’s deep throated screams soon surmounted the roaring storm and the wailing Wailers, but Ona’s cries were even louder.
     
    Rain beat down on the broad iron roof, drumming the corrugated metal with ten thousand hammers. A few minutes after their host left the horny couples in each other’s arms - amidst fragrant clouds of smouldering sandalwood to offset the odour of kerosene - water began to pour in beneath the walls,  and rise through the lower reaches of the half-finished chamber.
     
    “Don’t worry!” Grey’s voice intruded through the din; “I’ll just start the pump!” He splashed through ankle-deep water to a darkened corner and began tugging on a starter rope. “Haven’t… uhh… quite finished the… unhh… drainage…” Reema didn’t miss a beat. Mark hunched down to conceal Ona’s breasts with his body as a deafening roar filled their ears. “Sorry,” Grey said as he edged back out of the water and back through the doorway. “I’ll have to fill it later…”
     
    The lovers spent a surprisingly pleasant sleepless night in the half-built, half-flooded house – their sleeplessness only partly due to the room’s lower reaches being filled with so much water that Grey felt obliged to keep the amazingly noisy pump going all through the hours of darkness.
     
    Every two hours the lone bushman reappeared to refill the pump with fuel when it ran out – and managed to catch one or both of the lovemaking couples in flagrante delicto each time he entered. “Lonely out here in the bush,” Reema confided to the other girl while they shared an intranuptual smoke. After two such occasions the lovers ignored his intrusion; there was no way to sleep while the pump was making its unbelievable racket and they all took advantage of the long hours alone to enjoy their time together - interspersing bouts of wild or gentle coupling with glasses of wine and joints of fine heads while the pump rumbled and grumbled and rain thundered down.
     
    During the midst of that long damp night, Ree propped herself up on both elbows while Mark and Ona screwed slowly beside her. Her hair enveloped Ram’s face as the thought that had been preying on her mind emerged in a breathy whisper; “Zsuzsi’s such a babe – a real peach.” Her index finger circled his nipple and she contracted around him until he gasped. “So what happened when the gunman took her upstairs? I heard…” Reema’s tongue paused to whet her lips. “…did he…” Her eyes glittered in the guttering light as she watched Mark’s muscles swell and contract a scant distance away. Then she pushed down even closer, tighter, hotter. “I mean…”
     
    Ram’yana thrust upward to fill her belly and riveted every iota of her vagrant attention. He cleared his throat and fondled her slightly mismatched breasts while he glanced over her shoulder to the place where Ona and Mark were a slowly moving hump of tangled limbs, half concealed beneath the girl’s unzipped sleeping bag. “I only know what one of the neighbours told me…” he whispered.
     
    “How would they know?” Ree hissed.
     
    “They said Zsuzsi told them...”
     
     “Told them what?” She squeezed him tight, inside and out. “Tell me…”
     
    “Uh… mm… I don’t know if…”
     
    “Tell me!”
     
    So he did.
     
     
     
     
    “Zsuzsi said he tied Ricco to a metal chair and gagged him with a strip of rag while she huddled under the bedding,” he told her in a hushed voice, while Ona’s slitted eyes glittered at him sidewise. He watched the girl’s firm round breasts describe figure eights as they rolled around on her slender ribcage. Her star spangled eyes roamed Reema’s nakedness while her regular moans rose in volume in response to Mark’s rhythmic mechanical plunges. Her man buried his face in her long blonde tresses while she feasted dilated eyes on a candlelit view of the other young woman’s sweat-lathered body and strove to eavesdrop on their conversation.
     
    “I know that,” Reema said. Ram held her even closer, filling her mouth with a writhing tongue as her breasts pressed down upon his chest. He hoisted her all the way up to the top of his pole when Ona’s mouth opened wide with a hearty groan. Ree’s mouth slipped off his tongue.  “But what…” she started to ask even as the ring of her other lips squeezed around his fleshy crown. He forestalled the question by pulling her down ’til her groan echoed Ona’s – but Ree continued after only a moment; “…nghh…mmm… uh… Did he…”
     
    “He dragged her out from under the quilt,” the shaman relented in a quiet voice, “and pulled her off that new brass bed in the big room downstairs…”
     
    “The one we saw through the window today?” He nodded and her hips nodded back with delicious and familiar ease. “I thought that was where…”
     
     “No, not there. It happened up in the loft…” He didn’t relish the notion of making love in the place where that had happened, and intended to get rid of the upstairs bed when he took possession of the shack. “He stripped away the sheet she’d wrapped round herself and grabbed her by her hair…”
     
    “She has really long hair…”
     
    “…and pulled her to her knees in front of Ricco. He told them both to shut up while he jammed the rifle into her back. Then he growled ‘Don’t try anything!’ to Ricco in that fake German accent and started dragging Zsuzsi across the floor.”
     
    Reema’s mouth gaped partway open and her fingers wrapped around Ram’s arm with a slowly tightening grip, mirroring the squeeze of her loins as he interrupted the tale. “I don’t know if we should make love while…”
     
    “Don’t be such a pussy.” Her body arched around his cock and she wrapped her body right around his. “Go on – don’t stop.”
     
    “Oh, fuck,” he whispered while her talented musculature masticated his manhood. “All right… he poked Ricco’s rifle into her back and dragged her by her hair while he prodded her toward the other small room – to the ladder up to the loft. He manhandled her onto it and made sure she didn’t try to escape by keeping the gun barrel up between her legs while she climbed.”
     
    “So I guess she couldn’t just kick him in the head and jump off the balcony…”
     
    “No way. Zsuzsi was always nervy – really easily spooked - and she said she was shaking so much she could hardly make it upstairs.” When he stopped talking and reached for his stash Reema frowned and turned to watch the rapid rise and fall of Mark’s buttocks. “I guess there’s no close neighbours there,” she whispered.
     
    “Not close enough to hear anything – except maybe a gunshot – and he made sure Zsuzsi couldn’t scream. Not loudly, anyway, though apparently she tried. He gagged her at first, just like Ricco.”
     
    “And tied her up on the bed?”
     
    “The wooden one, aye. Hogtied her, she said.” He began rolling a number in the flickering light. “I think I’ll burn it.”
     
    “You could tie me to it first,” she said through a leer as she stroked his chest. “But don’t burn me up, except like this...” Her hips rose and fell with a languid motion. The moments ticked on, punctuated by nearby rasps of rapid breathing and the slippery slap of mating flesh - sounds almost drowned out by the roaring engine and driving rain. “And?” Reema insisted, fucking slowly for them both while he licked the papers together.
     
    He stopped what he was doing and lifted his eyes to meet her stare. “What do you think?”
     
    Reema’s eyes twinkled at him. Her fingers grabbed his forearm and stroked it suggestively as one side of her mouth curled into a smile. “I know what I’d have done with that sweet little Asian pussy. I hear she gets off on being tied up…”
     
    “Not like that,” he replied with a frown.
     
    “Did she like being tied up and fucked when you were with her?”
     
    “Sometimes – but not like that.”
     
    “I saw those velvet ropes she kept tied to the legs of your bed. How did she like it? Do you think she wanted him to…”
     
    “Not like that.”
     
    “Like what?” A rumble of thunder shivered the bed, overwhelming the roar of the pump and Ona’s escalating cries. Reema’s fingernails scraped a path down his chest and continued onward, lower. “Come on, tell me…” Her fingers reached past his pubic hair and closed around the base of his swollen hardness. “I promise I won’t breathe a word.” Soft lips touched his shoulder and began gliding toward his nipple while her hand gripped his shaft more tightly, pulling his length up inside her sweet quim. “Oh fuck… come on… what did she say happened?”
     
    “I don’t think I want to tell you while getting off like this…”
     
    “Why not?” she asked his nipple as he recommenced rolling.
     
    “Mm… not healthy…” he murmured, “…and I don’t know if I want you to be thinking of that when we go there again…”
     
    “If we move out there together, you mean.”
     
    “That too.”
     
    “That’s why I need to know…” Her mouth slid up along his neck while her fingers cupped his scrotum to hold him immobile. “Come on… get it off your chest… tell me… what’d he do to her?”
     
    “He trussed her up like an animal and fucked her mercilessly while she tried to scream for help,” he said into her hair. “There, is that what you wanted to hear?”
     
    “Sh…” Her shush made him he realise how loudly he was speaking. The feel of her labia’s sudden downward glide round his length would have utterly silenced him even had her mouth not closed over his. He glanced aside to see Ona writhing beneath her man on the uncovered mattress beside them, long brown legs wrapped round Mark’s paler torso as he thrust into her with repetitive enthusiasm. The young woman’s shrieks were a siren song that made both men harder than ever and horny as hell. When Reema came up for air she started speaking immediately; “Did he tie her to the bed or just tie her up?”
     
    “Both, I heard,” he said with a sigh. “For quite a while.”
     
    “Did he beat her up?”
     
    “No. He didn’t leave any obvious marks - except for the rope burns.”
     
    “How was she when you saw her last?”
     
    Visions of Zsuzsi’s sweet silken body paraded before Ram’s eyes as the last candle guttered out. They’d made love at least ten thousand times during the several years they abided together. Every millimetre of her gorgeous form was engraved in his soul and the feel of her silken skin was indelibly imprinted upon his more hirsute Caucasian flesh – the same flesh Reema was using to pleasure herself while he lay back to light up the joint. The match illumined a stark scene of lust being enacted beside them, casting a flare of tallow light on the glistening pole that thrust in and out of Ona’s roundly stretched sex as she bucked beneath Mark’s thrusting body.
     
    Both he and Ree were mesmerised into silence by the vision – but only for the moment it took to puff the spliff alight. She climbed astride his hips while he inhaled sweet smoke, and started to milk him for more than just information. “Tell me,” she demanded with a greedy clasp, her eyes fixed on Ona’s expressive face. “Tell me…”
     
     “She seemed fine,” he finally replied through a dense cloud of smoke as the match flickered out. “A bit rattled, of course…”
     
    “Then it can’t have been that bad.” Ree’s intent features lit up in the dim orange glow as he puffed on the joint. “She always screamed like a banshee when you fucked her anyway.”
     
    Ram squinted at her through the smoke as she reached for the joint. “How…”
     
    “And she really loved fucking,” she said before filling her lungs. He started again to ask how she knew, but she breathed a cloud across his face and posed another question; “So who was it – who did it?”
     
    He grabbed both her roundly spread cheeks and pulled her all the way down around him; Ree’s answering gasp interrupted her next puff, and when she coughed her entire lithe body spasmed around him. “The neighbour told me a lot of people around here thought it was me…”
     
    “You?” She held the number to his lips while Ona’s orgasmic cries masked her words. “Why would they think that?” The tourist’s screams went on and on, rising in volume with a quickening tempo.
     
    “They said I wanted Zsuzsi so much I’d do anything to get her back.” Reema listened intently as she stared past the joint and into his eyes. When Ona’s shrill shrieks devolved into moans Ree’s hips began to slowly roll around his rigid fulcrum. “She was very beautiful,” she said while her fingernails walked across his chest. “I can see why you’d do it.”
     
    Uhh… very funny. When they realised the guy looked nothing like me – he was much taller, for a start – some of them apparently decided I must have paid him to do it.”
     
    “Are you sure you want to buy the place?” Reema asked as she held the joint to his lips. “What was she like to fuck, anyway? I’d like to find out for myself, but she isn’t around. What did she feel like? What did you do to her?”
     
    “I’ll show you…”
     
     
     
     
    When they awoke in twinned tangles late the next morn the Sun was high in the sky, but the river had risen appreciably overnight. They washed the sticky caked detritus of the night’s sweaty strivings away in the swollen stream and partied the latter hour of morning away with their amicable host. “You should be able to make it back across by noon,” he assured them. “But stay as long as you want!”
     
    When midday arrived with a sweltering blast of summery heat they elected to wait another hour before giving it a try. Grey directed them onto a better course but they floundered and wallowed midstream once again. The Nexusmobile barely made it back across – and unbeknownst to the driver, the van’s radiator had been slashed open when its plastic fan deformed due to water pressure when it entered the midst of a scarily deep pool. The radiator emptied almost instantly and with no internal pressure the temperature gauge showed no problem whatsoever as they trundled along the winding dirt road that led to toward the highway.
     
    The smell of burning oil ought to have alerted Ram’yana as they approached the nearest tiny town, thirty klicks distant, but he’d spilled a little on the engine when he topped up that morning and thought little of it. The tape deck filled his ears with Ree’s choice of Annie Lennox compilations and the couples were in high happy spirits as they wended their way past forested riverbanks through picturesque vales. After thinning stands of battered trees had given way to grassy paddocks they pulled up to the kerb on the main street of the little village - and the Nexusmobile stopped with a hideous metal-rending squeal amid belching gouts of greasy black smoke that enveloped the vehicle’s shuddering body.
     
    At first the fact that they’d broken down directly outside the only garage for an extremely long distance seemed particularly fortunate. When it became obvious that the van’s problem was probably severe the hitchhikers bid Ram and Reema a warm adieu and thumbed their way off toward the coast while mechanics perused the damage. Unsurprisingly, the prognosis wasn’t pleasant and Reema suggested they go back to Grey’s place for the duration.
     
    Their host was glad of the company and – after picking them up from town and ferrying them across the river with sundry supplies – made them heartily welcome.
     
    “I hope Zsuzsi gets in contact soon,” Grey said between pulls on the helmeted head of his Ned Kelly bong when they’d settled into the converted sunroom kitchen. “I have to tell her about her cat.”
     
    “You mean Bast?” Ram’yana well remembered Zsuzsi’s Siamese; two of her kittens awaited him back home in the Emerald City. “What about her?”
     
    “She left her here with me when she and Ricco had to split,” Grey sputtered through a cloudy stream of cremated bush buds. “But she came on heat and ran away into the bush. Haven’t seen her since.”
     
    “She loves that cat. I’m surprised she didn’t take her.”
     
    “She couldn’t – not overseas on a holiday – and when she went on heat…”
     
    “You can’t control a Siamese on heat,” Ram’yana commiserated.
     
    “Or a Japanese,” Reema assured them. Her jest was rewarded with frowns.
     
     
     
    A few days later the mechanics in the little village’s ancient, crumbling, barely converted wooden smithy finished rebuilding the engine and the lovers drove the Nexusmobile back to the Emerald City during the next long moonlit night. At first nothing seemed amiss, but after less than an hour a strange background noise suddenly rose in volume. All the way home to Delta House, Ram’yana wondered why the motor was making such a godawful racket. He stopped to inspect the engine at three different petrol stations but found nothing obviously amiss, except for the ongoing clattering noise that originated somewhere beneath the alloy head.
     
    His usual mechanic back in the Big Smoke delivered the bad news, preceded by a question; “How far did you say you drove it after they changed the head gasket?”
     
    “Oh, about five hundred klicks.” The mechanic wiped his hands on greasy overalls and rolled his eyes at his offsider. “No way,” he replied. When he saw Ram’s querulous expression he continued. “Not possible.”
     
    “What? Why not?”
     
    “Whoever butchered your engine did such a bad job they put some of the parts in upside-down…”
     
    “An’ ’ey left other buts out completely,” his Kiwi assistant concluded. “No way et made et five hunnerd kays.”
     
    The battered van – which had already been deformed by years spent in service to the safe building company, whose hard metal constructions had torn away all the interior padding and irreparably dented the bodywork – lasted another full year. It finally gave up the ghost back on the block of land whose title deed Ram’yana ultimately purchased from Ricco (decades later the Nexusmobile still subsides there, a rusting hulk slowly disappearing into the black rainforest topsoil).
     
    As a result of the van’s unavoidable demise, Ram had to return to the Big Smoke to buy a new second-hand Nexusmobile – and his desperado neighbour C.C. had offered to give him a lift along with an associate (who was doubtless travelling to the city in search of higher grade heroin than was available in the remote villages servicing these wild men of the bush – a common problem for smackies, junkies and addicts of most kinds in those ancient days).
     
    When they arrived in the Emerald City, Ram’yana bid the pair farewell and was pleasantly surprised when he bumped into gorgeous red haired Andrella soon after. The next day C.C. phoned Andrella’s place - where Ram was staying - to offer a lift to the nearby Great Dividing Range, where he said he knew of a van for sale.
     
    C.C. hired the cheapest transport available for the journey – a three cylinder belt-driven Russian Lada – with the explanation that his smacked-out companion needed their other car to sleep in. The Lada was a tinker-toy whose buttons and handles all snapped off at the lightest touch; strangely, they seemed designed that way, and could easily be snapped back into place.
     
    When they finally arrived at the top of the mountain it transpired Ram’s neighbour was – unsurprisingly - in pursuit of some heroin after all, and a van had never been part of his plan; he was just worried about dealing out large sums of money alone.
     
    C.C. had thrashed the Lada mercilessly as he raced up the mountain and managed to stretch the little vehicle’s rubber band gear train; unaccountably, he’d managed to hire a belt-driven car. They barely made it back to town. Ram’yana silently fumed almost as much as the tiny two-seat car and fixed his gaze on the passing scenery. C.C. dropped him off at the door to Andrella’s apartment block, idly noting the address. He left in a fuddle of pin-eyed apologies and promised to not bother Ram’yana again before driving off to return to his associate, who awaited promised opiates in the hatchback he’d parked in a nearby park.
     
     The next day Ram found the new Nexusmobile – a diesel powered commercial van covered on all sides with the worlds ‘Effective Damproofing’ – in an auction yard, and drove back in triumph to the Redhead’s door.
     
    He hadn’t told Andrella any of this. It hadn’t seemed necessary. Now, judging by the expression on her face, he never would.

      It was grinding, gruelling and relentless - a pointless, antiseptic, primitive, anodyne wasteland of abysmally boring straightness. Two years? The question resounded through his mind, smothering the drily salient words of Mister Smithers.  Two years… a mind-numbing echo that drowned the alphanumerical drone of Joe, the old, half blind clerk he was to replace. Two years?

      The young shaman had endured the day with a calmness that almost unnerved him. When the lunch bell rang, even a call to his probation officer had seemed easy and straightforward. He sat back and observed another, more officious persona speaking into the phone’s black Bakelite mouthpiece, replacing his usual laid back demeanour and making arrangements with the inofficiously pleasant woman – just like the responsible adulterated dolt he resembled in his grey suit and paisley tie, with his hair and brains and gumption tied back in a long neat ponytail.

      That other him had pulled it off with effortless aplomb, and when the handpiece dropped into its cradle a measure of weight had lifted from his overly encumbered soul. Now all he had to do was allow the same persona to face the curious probation officer the next day.

      Two years? The young Centraxian shaman had already been a neophyte in the magic group for almost as long. He rued the looming likelihood he’d be trapped in the Emerald City for another two years…

      “Sure you don’t want a smoke?” Joe asked from the doorway.

      “No thanks – I only smoke herbal cigarettes.” Joe nodded with a crumpled expression – part frown, part smile, part knowing suspicion – and shuffled through double glass doors that bore the acid-etched drug company seal within scratched varnish frames. Ram’yana never smoked tobacco – never even allowed a crumb of the stuff to slip into a joint he was rolling, and could almost invariably tell if a smoke was contaminated with nicotine long before it reached his lips. Two years?

      A lilting voice turned him around. “You can smoke them here if you like.” Rose was a ray of heaven projected into drab, linoleum-lined concrete purgatory. “So long as they don’t smell bad.” As his eyes met hers she turned away and took a quick puff on a Benson and Hedges. Her pink painted lips curled up into a smile before they disappeared behind an umber cascade of waist length hair.

      When she turned to follow Joe downstairs he noted (not for the first time) that Rose’s burnt orange miniskirt-like dress (little more than a brief sleeveless tunic emblazoned with a single classic yellow hippy daisy) barely covered a perfectly pert athletic bum encased in a pair of barely visible pink panties. Unlike all the other women here, she wore little makeup, her legs weren’t sheathed in sheer plastic hose and her long glowing hair wasn’t covered with lacquered layers of toxic hairspray. She stood out a mile.

      She must know how she looks… Rose was an amazingly beautiful and apparently warm hearted doe-like nymphette, and the only other young person working in the entire office. Joe had introduced the youngsters at the first opportunity and had subsequently told him that Rose was a year younger than he (her seventeenth birthday was coming up soon, Ram’s new mentor had divulged as he toted up strings of numbers).

      Meeting Rose (and this brief little comment from her as she left for lunch) were the only high points to his working day. He glanced down at the cumbersome, clunky adding machine and noted it would soon need a new roll of paper. His scarified desk was littered with a clutter of lists and invoices that hadn’t yet made their way from the IN to the OUT trays flanking the outmoded machine - which added, subtracted and multiplied perfectly, but was a little too dim to divide. Two years of this?



      photoFluorescent tubes hanging from the ceiling in sentinel mimicry of the regimented desks below cast a sickly green pallor on an already grim milieu. Daylight beckoned through a long expanse of barred windows in the adjoining workspace where the Accounts ‘girls’ toiled – where Rose learned her trade from kindly women old enough to be her grandmothers.

      Two years… As he arose behind the desk his chair abruptly rolled away and bumped into the wall. An image of Rose’s long tanned legs supplanted the echoing words that had buffered his mind against the harsh realities of the day. His teenage imagination toyed with lustful notions as he followed in the girl’s perfumed wake, leather soles of his black leather shoes clacking noisily down the ever present linoleum cascade that smothered the wide wooden stairs.

      When he reached the foot of the staircase he stopped in a small foyer and looked down the hall leading to the entrance. He was just in time to see Rose step around a low ornamental brick wall that separated the asphalt yard of the company’s territory from the asphalt footpath beyond. She was an amazingly attractive girl, and extraordinarily nice; Maybe too nice for someone who’s lived on and beyond the fringe for years, he conjectured. His body actually leaned in her direction before he turned himself around and walked toward the loading dock at the rear of the building, where his father had worked for several years.

      The way to the dock led through ceiling-high stores filled with everything a pharmacy (a chemist shop or drug store) might stock. He walked between tall steel shelves filled with all the perfumes of Araby - essential and synthetic oils and perfumes, shampoos and conditioners, haemorrhoid creams, hairnets, toothbrushes, hair sprays, spray and stick deodorants, toothpastes, antiseptic toothpicks, steptic pencils, pink zinc sunshield cream, packets of Bex, all manner of prophylactics, ointments and tonics - and every pharmaceutical drug commonly and uncommonly available in the late 20th Century.

      Almost a year after his drug bust, Ram’s new probation officer had insisted he take the job at the drug company where his father worked; “You need something now, and this is available now. You can find something else later if you really don’t like it.” But then Mister Smithers had insisted he stay for at least two years if he took the job. Two years…

      Ram’yana was surrounded by substances many of his wilder contemporaries would kill to gain access to - drugs scrupulously counted, regularly weighed, carefully measured and wholly out of his reach despite their unguarded proximity; if any went missing he’d be the first or only suspect. He walked between rows filled with bottles of aspirin, hypnotic Myfakwelin, Mandrax and Rohyptonol sleeping pills (Mandies and Rowies), opium tinctures and ephedrine pills and all manner of barbiturates and speedy concoctions, to the bench where his father sat with friends and ate lunch in the shade of a sun baked iron roof. A single, dying, drying tree struggled through an expanse of cracked concrete that covered the acre of Gaia behind the long brick building.

      “Here,” said his father, “your lunch - Racheal made it for you last night.” His paramour had been asleep when he kissed her goodbye. He’d covered her soft skin with a sheet and blanket before leaving her titian body draped across his narrow childhood bed. “These are the fellows you have to meet,” Genius said, before introducing several relatively hard-bitten men - young, old, and every age between - who worked with him at the rear of the premises.

      “You’ll like it here,” a younger man who introduced himself as Luke assured the teenager, while he mopped his steamy unseamed brow with a huge blue handkerchief; “Working upstairs is a piece of cake.”

      “A cakewalk, matey,” an older man named Fred agreed. “An’ if yeh stick with it yell be head pricing clerk in no time flat – two years at most!”

      Two years…

      “An’ of course yell be joining the union,” said Fred.

      Two years… When they saw his distracted, frowning expression they began to discuss incomprehensible unionist matters and allowed him to eat in silence while he watched clouds drift between and beyond tall brick chimneys and nearby buildings. After the men had chewed through their sandwiches and downed steaming cups of company instant coffee and tea, they left him alone with his father. The expected question appeared instantaneously; “Did you ring the probation officer?”

      “She’s coming tomorrow, after work. I didn’t know she’d already seen the place.”

      Genius frowned. “When your mother was still alive.” He looked down at his shiny black street shoes. The loading dock workers wore no safety boots and used no other equipment except blocks and tackles and a few sturdy trolleys; .all their work was manual and no-one had yet coined the phrase, ‘occupational health and safety’. Genius spoke through his memories; “Your mother said that when the woman saw the bookshelves in the lounge room she relaxed completely and told her, ‘Whenever I see a house full of books I know everything’s going to be all right.’ So – she’s coming tomorrow evening?”

      “Aye.”

      Genius levelled a gunsight gaze at his eldest son. “Better tell Racheal.”

      “Don’t worry – I don’t think she’ll want to be around for that.” And I have to be on the other side of town for a ritual by ten… Ram’yana reminded himself.

      “Probably not.” His father shrugged as his stare grew even more piercing. “So – how do you like it?”

      “ ‘Like’ isn’t exactly the word – but I can stand it for now.”

      “For now – or for two years or more? I know it’s not what you wanted, but it could be very good for you.” He continued before his son could reply. “You know you really have to take it…”

      “I’m here.”

      “So you say. But if you change your mind or find anything else you must tell Mister Smithers…”

      “I want to tell the probation officer that I’m moving to our flat,” Ram’yana said by way of changing the subject. “She doesn’t need to know I haven’t been at home – at the house - but she…”

      “Just stay at home for now and we’ll talk about it.”

      “But I’m paying rent over there…” He had no idea whether his fellow Centraxians were still using the apartment or had abandoned it for less salubrious squats on the nearer side of the harbour.

      “We can arrange something.” Genius nodded at the returning workmen. “Lunch is nearly over. We’ll discuss it later. See you after work”

      This suited his son immensely.

      Before he returned upstairs he put a call through to an old friend, using a phone pointed out by the switchboard operator. “Squid?” he asked when the other end answered.

      “Roger dodger.”

      “I’m staying just around the corner from your place…”

      “Cool!”

      “…and was wondering if Racheal and I could drop in this evening.” Aware that he may be overheard, he kept his friendly spiel as terse and businesslike as possible.

      “Cool bananas, Ramayana. Come on over – the Doc’ll be here as well,” drawled the voice on the line. “And you’ll have to try some of…”

      “See you then,” the young shaman interjected, and cut off the call with a thumb on the cradle before Squid could utter another word.

      Racheal will want to come… The double entendre propelled his mind back into recent events. His body suddenly thrummed with visceral memories engraved in flesh and thought by his stunningly unexpected experience in the healing chamber of the magic group known as Dawn of Ra.

      “Y…you!” Her unabashed surprise echoes through their conjoined bodies. He can tell the Lady Racheal is shocked to the marrow; his paramour rarely drops the tribe’s demi-medieval Centraxian argot, and her undulant motions stop with unwonted suddenness when she recognises the smiling eyes that nuzzle betwixt her parted thighs in starlit revelation.

                  Daytime and night are utterly different realities, immiscible essences separated by far more than the mere convenient junctures of sunrise and sunset. Sunlit workdays and shadowy night lives, seemly or seamy, are different worlds for those locked into checkerboard thralls of time and timing. A slow motion strobe marks lightning-dashed strokes through illusory cycles, regarded by mortals as the passage of time. Some live only by day and shut down at night, while others revel in darkness and sleep away the shuttered Sun. Like the menagerie of nocturnal and diurnal lifeforms that abound all around them, different types and castes of humankind share the same Earthly spaces in relayed rotation.

      Beyond the shitty citified landscapes of humankind’s haphazard hivelike creation, the wilder, wider, natural world continues to conceal untold surprises. Where the Sun, Moon, planets and stars continue to rule time and tide and light the way, lives of unknown beings and courses of unseen events unfold in ways barely imaginable by domesticated primate minds.

      Even the familiar urbane landscapes wrought by the minds and hands of women and men are very different places when curious photonic waves of pervasive light fail to fill every nook, and crannies are become unutterably invisible. Unseen nocturnal landscapes, sculpted by imagination and filled with every possibility of myth and legendry, are populated by very different beings than the mundane sunlit workaday world. Familiar thoughts, works and semblances of humanity are oft transformed or replaced by beings beholden to ageless agendas, unknown and foreign to .the habituated ken of night-blind daylight dwellers. And some foreigners inhabit thoroughly familiar forms.

      At Racheal’s surprised exclamation her young shaman’s mind returns partway from sublime surrender (lost and found in blissful lovemaking with his priestess paramour) and emerges, riven with newer, starker sensations, into an unexpected – yet not unwelcome - ménage.

      ’Tis thee… The thought isn’t his, but theirs, together, yet his mind can’t grasp the intruder’s identity. He can’t quite see the sight that’s so obviously evident to his recumbent Lady, but the mouth that plays at their slippery sex most assuredly isn’t the furry countenance of neophyte Daniel.

      While a liquid tongue and feminine lips lave the smoothly oiled membranes where their flexing young bodies meet and mate, a ream of faces flickers through Ram’s imaginings, providing an array of past and potential lovers to explain the brazen presence of the unseen interloper.

      He doesn’t want to twist or turn and break their electric connexion in the storm-shot humid darkness. The sensation is exquisite; he pauses while an unseen mouth savours the place where his suddenly stilled shaft spreads his Lady’s roundly stretched labia, and fingertips tickle his balls and Racheal’s perfect derriere until their lovemaking slowly resumes.

      Curiosity wars with sensory bliss as soft strong hands massage his back and guide his renascent undulations inside his wide-eyed, well-oiled ladylove. Racheal’s eyes and teeth glitter when a hand propels Ram’s hips forward and he plunges all the way up inside her. She falls back onto the futon, parts her thighs wider and sighs her acceptance with a feral grin painted onto her shadowy features by apparently unalloyed glee.

      The other female, girl or woman, takes her cue and a slender hand slips up between their bodies while Ram’s skin unpeels from his priestess bride. A slick palm slides along Racheal’s taut belly and gently cups a firm round breast as another hand tenderly cradles her shaman’s scrotum. A liquid tongue dances round the base of his shaft in flickering darts of ticklish flame; tricksy mouth and flexible tongue caress wide-stretched lips that enfold his thickness when his ladylove’s membranes and inexorable muscles forestall his next withdrawal. Racheal moans and her head rolls from side to side in unselfconscious drunken pleasure while fingertips pinch the rock hard nub of an oily, glistering nipple. “Io…” she breathes, “…Io…”

      He pauses, half filling the sozzled priestess, and another set of sumptuous lips wrap sidewise round his half exposed shaft. He balances on knees and elbows as his right hand mirrors and mimics the other that squeezes and strokes his lover’s breast. Racheal’s eyes shut and her mouth opens wider. When a soft cheek rubs against her clit, her tight, hot muscles clamp about Ram’s hardness and her slick silky thighs flex athwart his hips.

      A slow drumbeat resumes from without, below, from all around in the sandstone manse. He can’t bear to close his eyes; all his attention is riveted to the dimly lit sight of her barely visible glorious beauty, and the thrilling vision of his girlfriend’s next climax approaching through the lunar paleness of her fucking, rocking, slippery flesh. His fingers twine with the other woman’s, pressing Racheal’s firm breasts together and sliding apart while the witch-girl’s muscles ripple and gleam with every rolling thrust of her hips.

      Her inner caress is his greatest need and deepest fulfilment, totally enthralling and eternally novel. Yet he finds it’s much easier to endure the sensations bestowed by her talented body this time. Racheal’s quim is thoroughly oiled by mingled anointments of earlier strivings and scented oils; his rapt enjoyment is uninterrupted by concerns of coming and prematurely ending this wondrous bliss. He proudly reams her responsive flesh to the tempo decided by their newfound bedmate, .glad and gladdened that both women witness and want and need and use his bold hard maleness.

      He pushes another motive to the back of his mind, where it lurks and hunkers, Quasimodo-fashion; I may yet get the chance to bed this other female…. He longs to see the one who pleasures their loins with such abandon, and to feel the woman who now pushes his cock into Racheal’s quim come screaming in his arms. …may need to be hard and to last for her, too…

      “Oh, ohh!” The priestess gasps, and begins to moan a wordless chant, inarticulate cries driven by mounting passion and approaching release. “Uh, uh, uh, uhh, unh, uhh, unh, uhhh…” The lady Racheal bucks beneath and all around him while the other female uses his cock to fuck her full length with hard, steady thrusts. Drumbeats thrum up through the hardwood flooring, the futon bed, through interlocked bodies; inside every plunge to the blazing depths of his witch-wife’s flexing belly.

      “Uh uhh, uh uhh, unh uhh, unh uhhh…”

      The other woman surely knows how to pleasure the girl, matching each stroke to her moaning cadence and every clasp of riveting heat that grasps the plunging lance she wields like an orchestra leader’s baton. He sees kneading hands mould Racheal’s firm breasts while he hangs suspended above glistening skin, allowing the hand to guide his movements inside his lover’s clasping sex.

      He glances down to where tricksy lips and a slavering tongue fan flames of unbearable titillation from the miniature cock of his ladylove’s rigid clitoris - yet her loins are nearly fully hidden by a lavish mop of dark flowing hair that lashes her belly with every lick and lash of a talented tongue.

      Racheal sings to the metronome beat of his drumming cock; “…Unh uhh, unh uhhh, ohh uhh unghh uhh, uh ahhh…” Her hips rise from the bed and her legs slide up along Ram’s raised torso while she’s royally fucked by the other girl-woman. Heels lock onto his meaty shoulders as she opens fully to love’s rhythmic embrace, hanging onto her lover’s frame with a limpet-like grasp while he raises her upward and fucks her senseless. Her entire body clamps around his; her head lolls loosely upon the pillow and rocks from side to side.

      “…Uhh unghh ahh ungh ahhh uhh AAHH!”

      All of a sudden her moans become screams and she shrieks like a banshee, filling the manse with flagrant sounds of complete abandon to climactic delight as all her slim limbs lock about her mate with uncanny orgasmic strength. Convulsions writhe through her trim meaty plasm like undulant serpents possessing her flesh, while her lovers caress her slippery oiled body, inside and out, every seam and mound and flexing muscle. Drumbeats match their intertwined fucking while the High Priestess screams and fucks and fucks and screams her raw wordless song to the whole wide world and the wild and stormy night.

      Ram’yana looms over her screaming face and his locks enshroud the silvery mantle enshrining her thrashing head. He covers her body with his larger torso and conceals the secret glory of her screaming orgasmic face with his long dark hair - silently assuring himself it’s not because she’s his possession, but out of a need to shield and protect his thoroughly inebriated lover at her most vulnerable moment. He conceals the startling beauty of Racheal’s orgasmic features, no longer revealed in distant faint lamplight and fainter starlight glowering down through the tall open window. Nipples slide across his chest, thighs and calves grip his torso and heels guide and propel the hand-girt cock that impales her while she screams and screams.

      He strives not to come while concealing the ultimate moment of his ladylove’s completely wide open, nakedly thrusting, utterly lusty total exposure from the prying eyes of their unknown companion (who licks them both while she fucks her with his rigid cock) - sheltering his girlfriend with the barest iota of unlikely privacy amidst the stormy explosion of her unfettered drunken climax.

      While another mouth sucks at his swollen shaft and laps at her tautly stretched labia, Ram’s lips seek Racheal’s open mouth in the lightless cave of their mingling hair. Her mouth locks onto his questing tongue and her smoky, marinated, flavoursome breath becomes his, and his hers, and hers his, while her tongue fucks his mouth in time with her reaming and her screaming is muffled to rumbling moans.

      The unknown woman uses his cock to fuck his gorgeous, wine-soaked, stoned (and who knows what else) paramour all the way to infinity and beyond. When Racheal next surfaces for breath she’s already screaming into Ram’s hair, and coming, and coming, and coming again while she squeezes him into the furnace hearth of her sucking, fucking, succulent sex. Clouds roll in on a seaward wind to cover the faintly glowing sky and the chamber is plunged into near total darkness while Racheal’s groans roar into the night from her deepest secret sacred core.

      All this time their unknown companion has uttered not a single word. Her face concealed by shades of darkness, their interlocked genitals and rapturous, engorged, hypersexual absorption, one in another, she’s managed to remain an enigma. Her hands rove their bodies with slick familiarity and her fulsome breasts rock against Ram’s legs while her mouth licks tracks between their loins.

      All sensation is magnified by gathering darkness. Her fingers lock around his base and begin to fuck his writhing girlfriend with deeper, harder and uncommonly faster plunges that stretch the teen to her bodily limits. She squeezes Racheal’s breast up against his chest and strokes his skin with a rigid nipple while the breathless priestess writhes and moans, fucks and groans, and trembles to her very bones as she comes screaming again to the shrouded stars.

      At the ultimate moment Ram’s rearing manhood is shoved right up into her trembling quick and jammed in the quivering mouth of her womb. Her eyes glow up through total dark while the alcoholic, smoke-laced breath of her gasping scream washes across the heated skin of his beardless face. Her body convulses around his cock and she pulls him down onto her, into her, pressing her into the hard futon bed. Their bodies ram and cram together as close as close can be, jammed round the hand that flexes about the witch-girl’s anointed breast.

      Just as Ram’yana draws back to regard his lover’s arousing visage, the faint glow of reflected streetlight suddenly disappears and the chamber is plunged into darkness so complete that not a glimmer of eyeshine nor a single glistening ridge of oily upthrust flesh can be seen .amid stygian darkness. He lets his weight descend on her slighter frame and savours the sensations of firm pointed breasts rising with each fast breath, smooth, soft thighs shifting against his sides, clasping arms and firm long legs enwrapping his lanky body; the indescribable pleasure of being suckled and fucked by limber loins while an insistent hand holds him deep inside her.

      They lay together in blessed union and he slowly sinks into the receptive refuge of the Lady Racheal’s feminine flesh, his only truly welcoming anchor in the midst of darkest oblivion.

      “Superman’s a clerk, too,” his younger brother reminded him. He watched the word twist through the younger teen’s mind like a thought balloon hovering over his head; ‘clerk’ quickly changing to ‘jerk’.

      “Is that supposed to make me feel better?”

      “Not really.”

      Racheal forestalled any incipient argument; “I don’t wish to be here,” she announced with a frown, smoothing her floral dress.

      “Understandable.” Ram’yana spliced his hand to Racheal’s on his ladylove’s bare knee. “She’ll only be here for a couple of hours.”

      Racheal pulled her hand away. “I mean,” she said with a grimace, “I don’t wish to be here at all. No more.”

      “ ’Tis only for a few days…”

      “I need my art,” she replied with an intensified expression that was suspended somewhere between angst and anger. “And it’s so cold here – the vibes are so thick and the place is full of spirits.” The younger boy’s eyes jerked toward her.

      “What kind of spirits? You mean – from the gravestones under the house?”

      “Those, too.” Racheal reached for her crystal goblet. “I wast not solely speaking of vodka.”

      “Does dad know you’re drinking that?”

      “He’s said aught about it,” she replied, baring her teeth to the boy through the firewater pouring past her unpainted lips. Ram’yana forestalled another criticism from his brother, insisting, “You don’t have to be here when the probation officer arrives – you can always go out for a while, and we can head back across the harbour on the weekend.”

      “I don’t wish to stay here one more night. I’m going home – to my place.” She unerringly nodded in the direction of the tumbledown hulk of a squat she’d occupied over the past few weeks, peering through brick walls, trees and hillocks to the place where she’d assembled her meagre possessions since splitting their waterside apartment.

      Her beau reached for her glass, hoping to keep her mind and emotions on an even keel. “Mind if I have a sip?”

      “Thou canst get thine own.”

      “Just a dram…”

      “Fuck off!” she yelled, and then, in a much softer voice; “Possession is nine tenths of the law.” Ram’yana stared into the instantly averted sapphires of her eyes. “And of the lore,” he reminded her with an accentuated rolling ‘r’.”

      “Dost think I am possessed?” she growled.

      “Whenever not, my dove?” he said with a smile while his brother pretended to be fascinated by the grey on grey images flitting across the TV screen.

      “Insensitive clod,” she said with uncharacteristic bluntness, leaning as far away from him as she could and pulling her legs up beneath her on the leathern lounge. “Canst not feel the cold of the grave biting at thy heels?”

      “Hush,” he whispered with a glance at his brother. “Dare not shush me!” she retorted. “I am thy sense and senses – thy very conscience.

      “Thou art many things to me, love – all things save that! My conscience and consciousness are mine own.”

      Racheal emitted a theatrical laugh, eyes flashing from Ram to his brother. “More’s the pity.” The shaman could feel his hackles rising when a wide smile spread across her face. He hadn’t had a chance to tell her of the invitation to their mutual friend’s house and workshop – just around the corner from his father’s abode – and decided to ease the tension with its timely mention. The Lady Racheal forestalled the attempted truce with, “If thou hast no need of me I’ll not tarry.”

      She downed the rest of the spirits and leapt to her bare feet. Her embroidered dress swirled around long pale legs as the disarrayed garment slipped from parts of her buxom frame. She tossed the crystal onto the cushion she’d vacated and sashayed toward the hall. Both brothers watched the deliberate sway of her womanly hips, the bunching rise and fall of her firmly muscular buttocks until she looked back over her shoulder; “Fare thee well – thou knowst where to find me,” she remarked as she swished away.

      “Aren’t you going after her?” his brother inquired when she altered course, presumably to retrieve her bag from Ram’s childhood bedroom. The elder teen just stared at him while Racheal’s voice overtopped the drawling television; “Of course he isn’t! He couldn’t be bothered – not the least bit concerned with any warninghis true love might have for him! Utterly ignorant and happily blind! Totally unconcerned that he’s sleeping over an open grave.” Ram’s eyes held his brother’s gaze as he cried, “Enough!”

      “Thou seest?” she demanded as she emerged through the doorway, dress rearranged beneath a fur-edged vest and oversized velvet bag hanging from one shoulder. “He cares nothing for me, really – I’m just a handy…”

      “My Lady,” Ram’yana interrupted, making the unmistakeable hand sign that meant ‘Be In Role’ in the silent signalling code of the Tribe of Centraxis.

      “I might well say the same to thee,” she replied in a growl, to his brother’s befuddlement. “If thou carest not to hear me, thine wish is my command.” And with that she swirled off down the hall, opened the front door and slammed it behind her. “Don’t worry,” Ram’yana said while his heart raced unheeding in his chest. “She’ll calm down soon – she usually does. It’s just the alcohol.”

      “Are you sure? That it’s just the alcohol, I mean?” The boy’s eyes were squinting with concern. It was obvious he was worried; Does he think mum is still hanging around? Ram’yana wondered, and then; IS she still around?

      He leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes and wilfully opened his Eye. He scanned the immediate surrounds, sensing the lay of the land and feel of the house as well as using his second sight. The buildings and trees and sundry linkages of piping and wires all transpared to a crystalline clarity. He saw that the landscape rose to ridges on three sides around him, forming a deep, wide bowl with his father’s house at the edge of its base. He saw the hill sloping gently downward, flowing toward subterranean waters that suffused the sandy, swampy soil and lapped at the foundation stones of the old brick building. He watched the waters pooling into a vast subterranean lake that underlay all the suburban sprawl downslope, and his mind’s eye revealed a semi-symmetrical checkerboard of light and darkness beneath the house, like crenulations atop a stone wall, propping the bricks and preventing them from subsiding into the deep gloomy slough of the pond.

      The teenage mage felt a preternaturally pervasive coldness emanating from the ground all around, chilling the house even in the unseasonal summery evening - like the feeling of deep, deep waters descending below, down into abyssal depths as he bobbed above in a square brick house on the skin of the world. He saw a circle of light that drifted across the watery surface and knew his Lady Racheal was wandering into the Queen’s parkland at the end of the street.

      But there was no sign of his departed mother.

      His brother’s voice shattered his reverie; “If you want to go after her I’ll be fine here.” For a worrying moment Ram thought he was referring to their mother. “Dad’ll be home in a couple of hours, after his meeting.”

      “No. Let her go.” He retrieved the discarded goblet and bottle and climbed from the comfortable depths of the lounge. “I think I’ll put the vodka away – and might have a drink, myself.”

      “None for me thanks. School tomorrow – and you have to be at work.”

      For two years…

      Psychedelic Water 28


      The band plays on while the hermetic shaman departs the market. He passes through rainbow archways of brilliant demi-heraldic fabrics and negotiates a cunning obstacle course of shin-high wooden benches designed for undernourished five year olds. The old public school - a regimented rabbit warren closed down years ago with the demise of the Baby Boom, now taken over by a far hipper community - occupies most of the triangular central block in the phantasmagorical little village.

      The recycled wooden buildings are now filled by community groups, studios, workshops, the local FM radio station, eateries, galleries, a kindergarten and childminding centre, ‘youth groups’ and rehearsal spaces.

      This weekend all the yards and outdoor passageways are fringed by a market of Byzantine proportions and complexity, where any number of useful, useless and luxurious items and substances can be found at reasonable rates (and barter is common at Mardi Grass, during the peak of the harvest season).

      He turns onto the main drag and a hirsute Nimbin original from the era of the original Aquarius Festival - whose family has lived in the area since hippies first began resurrecting the cattle-devastated fertile hills - assails him from the nature strip in mercantile greeting; “Ah, here’s someone who’ll be interested in this new generation of alarmingly great psychedelic t-shirts! Step right up and take a gander at these enlightening images, kind sir!”

      Cagliostro’s eyes are concealed by gilt-framed purple octagonal sunglasses, encircled by deeply etched laugh lines that bite into sunburn-pinked cheeks. Count Cagliostro - perfect clone of Phineas Freak (replete with a propensity for subverting the dominant paradigm) - holds up a brilliantly designed portrait of an elderly gent riding a bicycle through a warping field of psychedelic flowers, the lid of his top hat blown away to reveal a coruscating array of lights pouring into his head. Around the image the words ‘Hats Off to Hoffman!’ gleam in vibrant fluorescent dyes. “So what do you think? Like them?”

      Dr Hoffman – the ‘father’ of LSD – discovered some of the miraculous mould’s unexpectedly extraordinary properties while riding his legendary bike from work, where some of the compound had come into contact with his skin. His familiar trip home became an extraordinary adventure. The properties of time and space were fundamentally altered as his thoughts boomed through resonant ventricles of suddenly expanding mindfulness – and the modern shamanic Acid Trip was born.

      “Fantastic!” The her(m)etic hermit is truly impressed. “They’re the best psychedelic designs I’ve laid eyes on since the ‘80s!”

      “And we print them ourselves. The technology’s come a long way since the old silk screening days down in the Bush Factory. And cheap, too – but fine grade cotton. For you, fifteen bucks.”

      “Done.” He rummages through his hip pocket for some brightly coloured slippery plastic currency. “You put these together on your Mac? I recognise some of your artwork from the website.”

      “That’s right,” a younger man agrees from behind the rack of clothing, “on the Apple. How’s it going, Ramses?”

      “Aloah! It’s been great, except for the drought in the middle of the season. So you’re involved with this notorious change agent, are you? Well met!”

      “That’s right.” The second generation Nimbinite shakes his hand, using the first three stages of the universal rainbow arch grip. “Perfect day for it, though. No rain on the parade this year.”

      “So ’twould seem – a great drying year, perfect for curing.”

      “You got it,” Cagliostro tells him, pocketing the cash. “That’s why there haven’t been many locals around for the past couple of days – they’ve been too busy. And here’s something else for you, if you want it – a special bonus gift for our hundredth customer of the weekend!” He produces the small clear phial of colourless, odourless liquid capped with a rubber eyedropper. “How’d it go?”

      Thrice in as many days? Ramses considers the weighty question with all the gravitas it deserves for all of two seconds. “Perfect – but now my tolerance will probably be pretty high.”

      “Burning the midnight oil does that. Well - in that case five hundred mikes may be enough. What do you say?” The Count measures a dose out in the dropper. “Do you want it in the eye or under the tongue?”

      Ramses opens his mouth and tilts his head back in reply. Cagliostro squirts the LSD under his raised tongue and the slightly viscous fluid slips down his throat, clean, pure and ineffably familiar to his experienced palate.

      “I think that was more like seven hundred,” the bearded salesman admits. “But you can handle it.” He passes the t-shirt over and the three museketeers settle down on a narrow grassy strip alongside the concrete footpath. “I had that much about half an hour ago and it’s coming on nicely right about now.”

      “Me too,” agrees his partner, reclining in sunshine a few feet from the passing footfalls of a thousand strangers; tuning into the music rolling over the landscape from the market stage. “You know, you’re not really our hundredth customer. We’ve been doing okay, but not that well.”

      “Not as well as at the Channon market,” Cagliostro concurs. “But the website’s starting to turn them over like hotcakes and we don’t have to store any stock – we just print them up when the orders come in.”

      On the rack above their heads glowing pyramids topped with spangled eyeball capstones hover over pentagonal dayglo symbols of the Sacred Chao of Discordia, alongside warped and adapted reproductions of Robert Crumb originals. A basket of Gilbert Sheldon’s Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comics is mounted on a small carved wooden table, alongside hemp incense, hemp oil lip balm, cannabis massage oil and hempen cigarette papers. “Feel like a number?” Ram’yana asks.

      “I pick number twenty-three,” Cagliostro replies with studious intent. His satisfied customer produces a long pre-rolled reefer and passes it to him. “Congratulations! - that’s the winning number!”

      They pause to watch a bevy of Ganja Faeries saunter past, nubile, subtropically tanned bodies slightly concealed beneath green spangled bikini tops and short grass skirts. They carry large shield-like effigies of marijuana leaves through the passing throng, making their way to a nearby rehearsal space. “Looks like the parade’s going to be great,” Cagliostro observes. “A fine crop of Faeries this year. There are even a couple of males in among the dancing girls, to seed up the crop and give the women something to look at.” A group of citified hive dwellers pauses to surround the stall and Ram winks at the Count, stepping away from the sudden congregation as the salesman starts spruiking his wares.

      Only a few paces up the road the shaman stops at another impromptu stall spread out on the side of the footpath. Two boys barely larger than infants smile up at him through gaps in yellowing milk teeth. Arrayed on a paisley silk scarf spread on the ground before them is a carefully contrived cluster of crystals laid out in a complex mandala. The grinning boys proudly display the semi-precious stones to their prospective customer, who kneels down to inspect the crystals more closely.

      The change in altitude is momentarily dizzying and every surrounding sound shifts in a weird Doppler effect. Even after he kneels he’s still looking down at the tiny cross-legged urchins. The boys and their stall are surrounded by a forest of dozens of pairs of legs, their glittering wares ignored by everyone else.

      “We found them all ourselves,” the sandy-haired spokesman pipes up. A three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle of clear, citrine and milky quartz intermingles with blue-green fluorites, subtly psychedelic agates and a variety of less easily identified crystals form a rough circle on the concrete footpath. Highlights glisten within the fractured fractal surfaces in the bright midday sunlight and babbling voices weave and flow in a verbal river of intermingling multilingual thought-forms. It certainly is coming on fast, Ram’yana realises. And on a full stomach, too.  

      He notices that all the crystals have been cunningly arranged around – and partly conceal – an oddly shaped purplish stone set in the very centre of the mandala. Looking up at the two boys he sees a pair of ancient wizened gnomes inhabiting the bodies of three year olds, smiling up at him and nodding cannily. “These are really impressive!” he exclaims. “Where did you find them?”

      “Just down the hill.” The sandy haired creature points down toward the river, hidden behind a fringe of trees that stands between the hilltop village and the escarpment of fabled Nimbin Rocks - jutting outcrops rearing up from the depths of a primeval volcano that was once as tall as Everest, to guard and brood over the Rainbow Region of Oz. “We found them all down there.”

      “You didn’t have to dig for them?”

      “Nah – they’re all right there in the river.”

      The shaman jiggles a pale blue stone set beside an orange quartzite. Both abut the strange central crystal, half concealing its perfect purplish miniature phallic form. “These are particularly brilliant,” he says, catching the boys’ eyes. “And they hide this one in the centre so well – the one you don’t really want anyone to see or buy.” The gnomish lads glance at each other and a look of pained concern passes between them. “This weird and magical gem right here, with the strange shape.” The long sharp nail of his little finger hovers over the central stone, not quite touching its gleaming lustrous patina. It’s a natural talisman, he understands, a fertility amulet and attractive fetish – like a love potion set in stone.

      A pleading look comes into the eyes of the ancient earth sprites that inhabit the village children, their young bodies frozen in hushed expectation as they watch the squatting hippy. But it’s not something to need or want – how can you know that a woman loves you if you use a token like this? It’s a trap for the unwary and unwise…“Don’t worry,” he tells them, taking a clear quartz double terminator from the edge of the stone circle. “How much for this one?”

      The spokesman’s sidekick erupts in glee. “A dollar!”

      “Better make it one each,” the shaman suggests, handing over a double-headed two dollar fool’s gold coin. “Always keep the Elder’s face up and the Queen’s face down,” he winks at the gnomes.

      “Thanks, mister!” the sandy-haired youngster exclaims.

      “Boys,” Ramses says, “these are really good crystals, offerings of the living Earth. You’ve done amazingly well to find these – they’re beautiful.”

      “They’re okay mister,” the gnome replies, “but we can get plenty more.” Ram smiles, shakes their tiny hands. He rises to his feet, tottering slightly as Doctor Hoffman’s patented potion surges to his brain. He bows to the beaming boys and makes his way across a sea of undulating stone-flecked concrete waves that guide him toward the centre of town.




      He takes less than two dozen paces before another original settler - an evergreen stalwart still heavily involved in spawning the alternative society of the Rainbow Region – stops to greet him, hugging him warmly. “You’re here every year,” Lisa observes when she holds his whiskers at bay. Only the wild cut of her colourful clothing appears to have changed in the last three decades.

      She looks almost exactly as she did at the dawn of the Aquarius era that transformed the subtropics of Oz, smiling, well-tanned face beaming with health and vitality. Good vibes, a great environment and faithful adherence to an honourably alternate path – one she and other visionaries saw, clearly laid out, when the hippies first discovered themselves in the fertile paradise of this ancient volcanic caldera – have combined to preserve Lisa’s beauty, brilliance and edge.

      “How’s it going down your way?” she asks as a blonde woman strolls toward them with a ship-shape rolling gait.

      “All’s fine in the rainforest,” he replies, smiling at the obvious impatience of the newcomer, who strives to catch Lisa’s attention while subtly edging him aside with the personal space of her capacious aura. “We have to get to the showground soon,” she announces in a tone of implied remonstration.

      “Of course.” Lisa glances at her watch.

      “Just one thing.” Ramses feels words swelling within him, forming somewhere beyond volition, apparently arising of their own accord from some mysterious inner source. “Before I say anything…” he hurriedly tells them before an unknown muse can spirit his volition away, “don’t pay any attention to anything I say.” The blonde’s grey eyes roll and Lisa’s smile becomes a trifle brittle - then the tidal flow is upon him; “It’s obvious there was some friction at first, with the Permaculture village opening up on the edge of town – many Nimbinites saw it as the thin edge of the wedge of straight development...”

      “Oh, that’s coming anyway,” Lisa interjects with a quizzical smile. “Land prices are going through the roof…”

      “They sure are,” her friend agrees with gleaming eyes and a guardedly miniscule nod.

      “…and if there’s one thing Nimbin and the Rainbow Region need to continue as models of alternative living, it’s more environmentally aware people – and more Permaculture, to help keep the asshole developers at bay across the Queensland border, where they belong.”

      “Maybe,” Lisa says, “but it’s put a real strain on things; the town didn’t really want to expand in such a single huge step, without more services being in place first.”

      “Understandable – but now it’s not only a fait accompli, but a great green boon to the place.” The shaman still wonders where all this is coming from and going to as it pours from his mouth. “Look around - there are thousands of people here from all over the world…” They all glance outward, away from their small clustered circle, as a river of undulating bodies parts around them and reforms on the downstream side. “More like tens of thousands,” the unintroduced woman agrees, “and one raindrop raises the sea.”

      “…and all these people aren’t just here for the drugs…”

      “…or all the sex and rock and roll,” the blonde interposes, eyeing the shaman with a full-length sweep of her glittering gaze.

      “…they’re also here for the dream. Nimbin’s a showcase of possibility and everyone here suspects the future that’s coming down on them is less than ideal. Most exist in lives of apparently pointless struggle and wonder if they - or their children - will have a future…”

      “Oh, there’s a future all right,” Lisa assures him.

      “The future’s so bright you’ll have to wear shades.” The blonde smiles behind her mirrored sunnies.

      “Of course – but you know what’s going on; they’re all looking for solutions and a better life. Nimbin could do a lot worse that grafting Permaculture onto its label; the hope of the future’s revealed in the word. Permanence is what everyone craves, and the hope for something far more than subsistence – the dream of a vibrant ongoing culture in harmony with the Earth is what everyone really wants.” Lisa looks at her watch and he feels the rushing stream of words sputter toward a halt; “And that, after all, is what Nimbin is!”

      “That’s an interesting viewpoint,” she says, not quite meeting his eyes, “and now we’d better be off.”

      “Or we’ll be late,” her white rabbit friend agrees. The sounds of Nimbin suddenly return and increase in volume and variety, and a tide seems to turn in the fragrant air. Echoes of drums and trumpets filter through the tumultuous noises of the crowd and many brightly clad people seem to be making their way toward the source of the semi-musical sounds.

      “See you at the parade!”

      “See you on the street,” Lisa agrees, giving him another hug. The women wander up the road, immediately engrossed in ongoing conversation. Ramses makes his way past the pair as he flows around an eddy which temporarily snags them, weaving quickly through the multitude to bypass the clotting knot of interweaving wills.

      The clear bubble of LSD expands to further transform his dizzied awareness. The shaman watches people step unconsciously from his path, a narrow track forming before him and closing as he passes through the surging protoplasm of the crowd. He tastes their expectancy, ambition, lust, boredom and wonder, their dawdling absent-mindedness and tightly focused concentration, their wary paranoia and effervescent glee as his aura touches and mingles with the multitude.

      Marijuana smoke fills the streets, an aerial mixture of resinous scents from all over the country and the far-flung world, whose international denizens make regular and incessant pilgrimages to this little painted village on a nondescript ridge inside one of the largest volcanic calderas on the land surface of the planet – long extinct, we’re told by the science of usurping newcomers...

      He unbuckles a small camera from his utility belt and checks the battery as he stalks along the edge of the road, dodging a Jungle Patrol clad in green and fluorescent orange t-shirts who are trying to keep the roadway clear. His carnival garb seems to forestall any objection as his swift passage continues unimpeded. He strides up the double-lined centre of the main drag but soon steps to one side to observe a dynamic duo of gymnasts. A surprisingly petite teenage girl in a blue tutu and matching sequined bikini top stands balanced on the outstretched hand of a long-haired Germanic-looking blonde man, who holds his diminutive partner aloft above the concrete with a studied semblance of ease. The girl performs a pirouette on his palm to the enthusiastic applause of a growing circle of admirers and the floppy velvet hat at their feet begins to fill with coins. The shaman adds a jingling token and glances up to meet the teen’s serenely smiling eyes.

      The girl holds his gaze as she shifts her weight to bend over, then places her hands upon the man’s shoulders and rises into a handstand atop him. Their heads touch as barefoot feet arch and purple toenails point to midheaven while her long brown hair falls down over both their faces. Out-of-it males leer and cheer to the disapproval of envious girlfriends as the girl’s tutu flops down to reveal slim tubular pillars of spry legs surmounted by a gymnast’s muscular buttocks. With only a tiny G-string to preserve a vestige of the teen’s scant modesty, nude flesh gleams and muscles bunch to flex pneumatically before a red-rimmed beast with a hundred greedily lustful eyes.

      The shaman’s gaze shifts to surveillance cameras that perch on thin towers above her twirling form, slowly scanning the crowded street and transmitting images to various government agencies with an abiding interest in whatever goes on in the village of Nimbin. Ramses notes a camera tilting down toward the upthrust girl and sees lens elements shift as it zooms in on her near-naked body while she twirls and somersaults head over heels to land astride her partner’s shoulders.

      The crowd cheers and applauds as he turns away. A hundred yard queue all but blocks one footpath, snaking up past the packed museum to the only autoteller in the village; it’ll surely be emptied in a few hours or less. A clutch of street sellers stands a few paces removed all around the machine and a clot of enthusiastic buyers brings the plodding pedestrian traffic jam to a standstill. Ram swerves to the edge of an opening that leads from the narrow human aisle and pauses to avoid a police car coming the other way.

      “Cookie? Chocolate?” A willowy green-gowned girl leans a naked feminine flank against Ram’s hipbone. W when she presents a wicker basketful of goodies he can barely see a face through her pointed hood and the serpentine mass of long dark tangled dreadlocks that spill from it. “They’re really good – not leaf. Here, smell this.” The name attached to the familiar voice teeters at the edge of recall. The cookie she breaks beneath his nose releases a scent as strong and delectable as good hashish, almost completely overpowering any other olfactory charms the small cake provides. “Chocolate and cinnamon, too,” the vendor informs him in a playful contralto. As she warily glances from side to side he recognises her– a fellow feral forest blockader from rambunctious and bucolic times shared in remote tree-canopied wilderness.

      “Lacy! Long see no time!” She pecks his cheek with fluorescent lime lips.

      “Now I’ve put my mark on you! Here – have half for free.” Amanda pops a crumbling brown mass into his mouth and in a breathtaking pause the rich redolence of well-isomerised cannanibols fills his awareness, just as a squad of riot troopers swaggers past. “I recognised you by your winged hat.” She tosses her hood back and smiles through a suddenly revealed and alarmingly dense barrier of sharply pointed facial jewellery. “You look like the parade’s about to start! Oh look – there’s Joel!”

      The feral girl climbs up onto the towbar of a handily parked van and waves across a multitude of heads. He can’t resist staring at the smooth brown legs that rise up and up until they disappear into an artfully torn ultrabrief leather skirt, scant inches from his nose, and wonders at his endless propensity for primate longings.

      He looks away and espies deep ranks of merrymakers sauntering beside and along the road. Most wear sunglasses and disport an array of private surveillance devices – mostly digital but a few film cameras remain, still and video, and a few audio recorders as well as the ubiquitous cell (damaging) phone cams. “Good to see you again, Ramses,” the young woman yells over her shoulder. Not a girl any more… He corrects his earlier appraisal, recognising signs of an undeniable passage of time since last they met and mingled. “See you in the Rainbow later, okay?” Her eyes glow greenly luminous through the long dark dreadlocks pouring from her hastily replaced hood.

      Images of their last trysts well into his awareness, erasing the living present with memories graven into his heart, mind and loins – fond recollections occasionally resurrected from the vault of time across a hand span of flowering years. The sight of her face coming and coming again, screaming wide-eyed while her body keeps relentlessly, automatically, unendingly bucking and fucking beneath him, when he lays her down in the moonlight beneath dappled shadows of a vast primeval forest canopy; the first time they truly met…

      Bobbling breasts, taut and firm in his hands as he tastes her nipples while she presses his flesh into a soft carpet of yielding moss by the side of a rock-strewn waterfall in dazzling sunlight…

      The sensation of her luscious lips sliding over and around his quivering glans as he hardens inside her mouth and slides deeper into her throat; the sweet, salty taste of her quim on his tongue while soft, smooth, slender thighs press against his ears and feminine hands inflame his naked body with intimate caresses…

      The image of the beautiful grrl's post-orgasmic expression as she lies half submerged on a smooth bed of pebbles, massaged by the ever flowing waters of a secret, perfect, pristine rainforest rock pool, inciting him to higher, further, deeper pleasures… 




      Past gives way to present and her eyes seem to be delving into his thoughts when awareness returns. He’s certain she can see – and feel – a semblance of his imaginings when a corner of her lips quirks upward. He can still feel her loins wrapped around his length, squeezing as he moves through her, even as they’re jostled by strangers in the crowded street…

       “I’ll hold it to you,” he says with a wink, speaking around the delicious consolation prize of her cookie before noticing his tongue-tied slip, and swallows the gift before returning her widening smile. He toys with the notion of dallying with her through the rest of the day, in hopes of experiencing more exemplary, untrammelled, uninhibited and unencumbered sex with the gorgeous young woman - but he can see she has other things on her mind.

      As she turns away she keeps his dreams smouldering with a laugh, a light slap on his chest and a phrase; “I’ll keep a spot warm for you then. Later...”

      His thoughts begin to boom and echo through the cavernous ventricles of his mind as he hurries away, and he turns to continue up the street unimpeded by Jungle Patrol members who direct most others from the road. Bright protest banners and rainbow flags wave high in the distance, held proudly aloft to proclaim the ever-approaching End of Prohibition. Next Year Jerusalem…

      “Ah!” A jubilant voice drawls a path through the sardonic thought. “We meet again… already!”

      “And you still haven’t come down?”

      The Alchemist’s eyes roll in their sockets while his skeletal body reels round socketed hips. “The time will come the wall rose bled, to peak - and peek - at many things.”

      “Uhuh…” The shaman’s mouth opens and words pour forth; “of Jews and slips and seething flax and carriages of bling? And when, pray tell, will this auspicious creature come and sing?” he asks in response as huge winged creatures pass above, pummelling swathes of air with resonantly beating wings that  perfectly match the rhythmic cadence of a hundred intermingling drumbeats and the beating of his expectant heart.

      When the newly initiated High Priestess staggers toward the dazzlingly bright kitchen seeking another refill of wine, a wordless inner voice prods her onto a different course. Following an intuitive urge the proudly naked young tripper pauses at the shadowy foot of the stairs, where she balances against the doorframe to collect her disparate selves before venturing back into the gloomy longhall.

      Raucous sounds from a resurgent tide of swelling revelry seem to pour directly into the Lady Racheal’s mind as her tribal initiation party continues apace without her. Swirling shapes surround her head and a bevy of transparent deep purple bats flit around the margins of her vision. The wooden doorframe is a carved limb of living flesh that bends to her touch and the rug beneath her bare soles slithers about like a skittish skateboard..

      Her eyes adjust to guttering candlelight and she catches sight of the glazed haze of the tribal initiation mirror, where her own dim reflection stands above strange serpentine shapes twisting in fire-fringed shadows. She’s instantly transfixed, shocked by the vision of her own amazingly perfect hourglass figure, and absorbed in the swirling patterns that swim across her glowing white skin. That’s me? Racheal marvels, and the thought resounds inside her skull; …me… me… me… Her eyes light up like Catherine wheels. Can I be that… that… She feels a blush rush up her throat: …thatgraceful swan?

      A flock of words pours through the air, too swift to catch or understand. While she tries to disentangle rumbling music from highly spirited exclamations and less audible murmurs of conversation, the pale reflected shapes at her feet slowly resolve to a pair of slim feminine limbs. Fernlike patterns illumine the snaky forms from within and spread through the hall, extending to unseen horizons. Though certain she doesn’t move at all, Racheal’s face nods and winks back at her from the looking glass and she turns away to focus on her own side of the mirror.

      When she peers down at the legs that twist near her feet flamingo-pink ethereal flames engulf the low couch and conceal all details with dancing veils that shift through violet and purple. She sways and raises the cup to her lips to down the dregs of the oversweet mead and a foxfur coat brushes past her back as her naked hip bumps against another’s, encased in rough rasping denim. She absently drops the mug on the rug and steps from the draughty doorway, emerging into firelit exposure in the tribe’s crowded longhall.

      Racheal instantly feels attention strike her with probing thrusts, hooking barbs and questing tastes of myriad eyes that fix upon her blatant nudity from candlelit nooks and deeper shadows. The swaying priestess averts a warping gaze to focus on the bed where she’d so recently left her shaman lover. In another few moments, while high-pitched music spears through her brain and flashes of light erupt in the night, she recognises the familiar musculature of Crystal’s long white legs limned in fluorescing orange fire. The rest of the redhead’s rocking little body is concealed by a larger, hump-backed, white delphinine mass that moves across her smaller frame in undulant rhythmic waves.

      Through swimming vision she watches the younger teen’s thighs enwrap and flex around an equally pale naked torso suffused with living, pumping, glowing colours, and sees the girl’s calf muscles swell as she draws her mate closer. That isn’t Arné… the tripping hippy witch girl realises, and when firelight flares and she sees who plunges between Crystal’s spread thighs, the Lady Racheal’s swaying knees drop to the gritty rug and her hands fall onto the edge of the mattress. 

      A huge hand settles onto her bare shoulder and gives her a squeeze while pressure builds behind her blinking eyes. “You okay, lovely?” The masculine voice is completely unfamiliar, grating down from the darkness while colourful Aztec motifs flare in her retinas. “Need anything?” Rough fingers shift to stroke a lock of her hair, twisting a golden strand before blurred eyes that remain fixed on Crystal’s partner. Another large hand presses between her shoulder blades and her hackles rise as the stranger begins stroking her skin with a slippery palm. “Need a hand?”

      A wave of rage bursts upward though her and in the next instant she launches herself back up onto her bare feet and sways, dizzied, in semidarkness. The massive hand keeps stroking her back and slides further downward as a muscular arm surrounds her naked waist, tickling her midriff with a wiry mat of fuzz – but the importunate contact is scarcely distracting before the swelling rush of jealous anger that strangles a rebuke before she can utter it.

      The stranger obviously takes silence for assent and pulls her closer. Evidence of the night’s passions slithers down her inner thigh as she staggers away and totters against the edge of the stairwell. She shakes medusa strands of snaking hair from her shuttered eyes and feels the growl swell in her throat until it bursts from her lips.

      “Leave me be!” she warns as the hand slips lower, but her half-withheld shout is drowned beneath a rumbling squall of heavy metal. She knows she can call any man in the tribe to come to her rescue any time she chooses – most are still awake and present in the Centraxian stronghold – but is fain to betray her position to the rutting teens just beyond the threshold. Twisting aside doesn’t help; the sandpaper fingers slide around to lightly cup her bare buttock, and despite her best intentions Racheal’s body trembles with an inconvenient shock of undeniable drunken arousal.

      You’re free as a bird…. a booming inward voice intones; and so is he… Shocked at the thought, she drifts away and watches herself from a nearby distance; faintly surprised her hair’s still so straight, disturbed by her strangely slowed reflexes, filled with scorn at the helpless lust that flares in her animal body at the simple trigger of a tickling finger. The meaty hand seems content to stay where it is without further manhandling, so she decides to ignore the intrusion for the moment and concentrates on seeing through the brick wall that stands between her and the longhall.

      The living image of her smiling prince instantly fills her eager mind in a draught of revivifying elixir. His long hand beckons and his full red lips say something inaudible as she slips back into her body and prepares to lean around the doorjamb to meet his emerald eyes in the flesh. A shocking thrill rushes up through her spine when the sliding hand slips from her cheek and dandles her tailbone, but she’s so thoroughly drunk, drugged, angry and jealous she can’t be bothered giving much of a damn about this annoying new violation. She needs to know – to be certain her eyes aren’t playing tricks and leading her astray into fearfully insecure delusions – so she resolves to ignore the hand when it starts stroking her flank and circling round to finger her belly.

      Far too much has happened in all too short a time for anything so minor and meaningless to distract her at such a pressing moment. A pair of street urchins rushes past, delaying her for another few infuriating seconds before she takes a slow motion step into the bathing heat of the firelit longhall. She steels her nerve for the scene that awaits, already etched in her blinking eyelids. Her tormentor pursues her with an arm that slithers around her waist.

      When she takes a deep breath and gazes down on the low couch she sees the lovers have exchanged positions. Crystal’s fey shape is starkly outlined by an orange glow from the resurgent fire. The inebriated priestess’s treacherous body threatens to crumple back onto the floor beside the squeaky mattress when she sees her lover’s rigid cock – her cock! -  stretching the younger girl’s pink lips wide. Fury fills her and she turn around to face the nearest light, twisting out of the anonymous slippery grip as she strides toward the kitchen. Brilliance blinds her dilated eyes and a rasping crackle announces the advent of another track from the overhead speakers;

      *
      “I feel the earth move under my feet
      I feel the sky tumbling down
      I feet my heart start to trembling whenever you’re around…” +
      *

      A barking laugh escapes her lips when Racheal steps into stark blinding light and hears the lyrical lyrics. Her bare soles slide in a pool of spilled wine and she literally glides across the room on a chequered expanse of slippery linoleum. Two bearded hippies gape and ogle her naked body with unsuppressed surprise and dawning admiration. Two sets of hands start to rise to catch her as she reaches between the goggling men to steady herself - and incidentally grabs an apparently abandoned goblet from the mantle in a single fluid motion.

      “Milady,” a voice entreats as she raises the clay vessel to her lips. She spins about to see a familiar figure bow and doff his feathered cap. “Awa Ken, Milord Marco,” she replies with a curt little nod as his eyes stroke the length of her body. “I’ll fetch thee a stronger tipple,” he says with a wink, “and thy robe while I’m at it.” He strides out of the room with a flap of his cape, closely followed by young Princess Moonshine (clad in fishnet stockings, high black boots, a short fur jacket and little else) who flounces past a hulking onlooker that lurks in shadows, watching from the foot of the stairs.

      *
      “Oh baby, when I see your face, mellow as the month of May,
      Oh darlin’, I can’t stand it when you look at me that way
      I feel the earth move under my feet
      I feel the sky tumbling down
      I feet my heart start to trembling whenever you’re around…”
      *

      The tribal High Priestess spots a slightly older woman in a polka dotted dress and matching headscarf, staring at her naked body with approbation glittering in slitted brown eyes. She stares back until the woman looks away, then spins on her heel and gives the half-crowded kitchen a good look at her posterior as she slides back toward the longhall.

      *
      “Ooh darlin’, when you’re near me and you tenderly call my name
      I know that my emotions are something I just can’t tame…”
      *

      Her glide is interrupted when she bumps into the unmoved but animated Lady Ringell, whose extraordinary guffaw further delays her return to the orgiastic scene that still hovers before her eyes. “No,” Fifi is saying to a glaze-eyed Li Po, whose golden arm drapes over an equally drunken Freedom’s shoulder. “I shan’t be going north tomorrow after all – I have another engagement…”

      “Singing?” Freedom asks with a reverent expression.

      “Not this time my dear, ’tis an acting part. Mayhap ye’d like to accompany Li Po and Arné on Kha-Aan’s expedition to evict Captain Kell and reclaim the stronghold… Milady!” she exclaims when she turns about and sees Racheal’s pinkly bobbing breasts. “Taking them out for a stroll, are we?” Racheal glances down and shrugs. Her eyes bore into Fifi’s while an unplanned decision pours from her lips fully formed; “I’ve a mind t’ take thy place on that trip… if there’s space.”

      “Another trip so soon?” Ringell’s eyes twinkle as her cheeks deeply dimple. “The boys will always make room for thee - our grand, beauteous and unsurpassably wise High Priestess! But they’ll be leaving not long after dawn, my dear – wilt stay up through the rest of the night?”

      “Just watch me,” their new High Priestess answers as she shoulders her way through the group, heading toward rising sounds of merriment.

      “Why not? No doubt everyone else will,” Fifi observes while Freedom releases a suppressed giggle.

      *
      “I just a-lose control down to my very soul
      I get a common cold all over, all over…
      I feel the earth move under my feet
      I feel the sky a’tumbling down
      *

       

      The shadowy figure no longer bars Racheal’s path when she returns to the shadows. She pauses at the foot of the staircase, lifts the goblet to her lips and finds it half filled with spicy mulled wine. A strange gritty texture pursues the lukewarm drink down her throat while a cool draught from the open back door pimples her perspiring skin. The teenage witch steels herself with another gulp, certain she’s inured to the sight of her lover disporting with the other girl again. Then she enters the gloomy longhall and suddenly halts at the expected spectacle that nonetheless confronts her with stunning lividness.

      The last of the sweetly strong drink spills down her chin and splashes from her breasts to cascade onto Ram’s undulating spine and bunching buttocks. She watches him jerk with surprise between Crystal’s thighs “Fuck this!” she yells through the party’s ebbing tide in the dimly lit longhall. “’Tis my party and I’ll have whom I want, too!”

      Ram’yana freezes inside Crystal’s spry body, poised atop her and halfway withdrawn. The little pixie lies beneath him with her heels in his hocks, still and unmoving, her breath withheld as she peers through his hair and over his shoulder. When his glance inevitably follows the red haired girl’s he’s rewarded with a memorable tableau. His Lady’s statuesque silhouette steps from the doorway and enters the hall, striding right past their interlocked bodies. Her white skin flares with a flaming liquid sheen as she passes through the large shadowy chamber and boldly faces the shadows within.

      Though he’d been certain few strangers and fewer Centraxians remained in the hall, it seems as if a multitude of glittering eyes swivel and flash to the stark naked teenage High Priestess when her bold declaration reverberates from the graffito-clad walls; “I am what I am!”

      “And we love what you are!” yells a voice from the pack, fast as a shot with echoes of laughter.

      Take me or leave me!” The priestess’ cry twists in Ram’s mind like a multilayered oracle as Chrissie’s hands grip his shoulder blades to pull him closer. An instantaneous hubbub greets Racheal’s invitation as half a dozen male voices shout or grunt or call out in wry reply. His beloved stands out as a shining beacon in turbulent night and, along with everyone else in the hall, Ram’s eyes are riveted to her utterly nude flame-tinted young body.


      A slender Goddess naked and white as the last flaming candle that laves her form with licks of light she twists and sways, slowly aglow in the magnetic midst of a bombed out ruin, and intones as she twirls; “I call on a knight in the long dark night…” Her voice is uncommonly husky and deep, vibrating right through the crowded room. The new High Priestess spins on the spot like a swivelling lighthouse, arms akimbo with long blonde hair streaming in living flames in a vortex that threatens to fly apart. “…a champion waiting t’ enter my sight…” she slurs as she spins to a halt.

      Firm nubile breasts bounce unerringly skyward and the prince can’t help notice his paramour’s nipples are hard and erect as she moans her spiel to the rowdy crowd. Her huge wide eyes flash with sapphire brilliance as a blue glow lights her high pale brow, and her alluring figure seems surrounded by another, larger form that shines with an unearthly pulsating aura. “…an’ join with me t’ show his might…”  

      She swirls between the lover’s bower and the rest of the hall, and doesn’t even glance in Ram’s direction but slows to meet the stares of everyone else in the chamber with a flashing white grin. He watches her profile as glinting eyes rove the darkness to spy Arné’s unmistakeable naked body, half sunken into an oversized lounge chair; the young monk appears to have crashed out after his impressive exertions. “…enflamed on th’ pyre ’f love’s delight…”

      Ram’yana is sure he can see her mind working behind her showy rhythmic spiel, writ clear as words in flitting masks that flutter across her familiar face; I’ll have her man, and see how she likes it - I can soon rouse him, she seems to decide on the nonce while he stares. As she strides further into flickering rays from the fading fire – the only remaining bright flux of light -the naked teenager’s slim naked body, all aglow in the swelling dark, is surrounded by shadows that close in around her, eclipsing her flame-edged form from Ram’s sight.

      The longhall steams with sweltering heat. “My sleeping knight, so filled with might, to waken thee’s a boon by right…” her lover hears the witch girl declare, and feels Chrissie’s body contract around him as a viridian wave of possessive jealousy jolts through both their spines. He stares across her flaming mane with watery eyes, transfixed by the show with most everyone else at Racheal’s surprisingly boisterous party.  “…to have an’ hold ’til daylight bright…”

      Each stanza evokes a hypnotic parade of illustrations that pass though Ram’s mind while he watches her sway before Arné’s sealed eyes, scant inches from his idle hands and an arm’s length from the corralling crowd. When the priestess kneels between Arné’s knees and leans across his generous lap, her lover turns to the unmoving drunken pixie whose boyfriend Racheal now wakes with caresses and kisses and intimate touches that twist the girl up in Ram’s close embrace. “…and flee with me on thy northerly flight…”

      Crystal’s eyes are gleaming liquid pools.in the flicker-shot dark. He feels her mind cringe along with her body, feels her relax as the thought arrives with Free Love’s bold entrained refrain; I don’t own him…

      “…that we may do this f’r a month of nights…”

      And I don’t own her… Chrissie’s mouth opens and she pulls him down onto her, all the way into her, and sighs. “An’ I’m having you,” she slurs into his hair. She starts to move him deep inside her, guiding his hips with all the strength of her rolling pelvis and limber young legs, propelling his hardness with both bony heels.

      Yet he can’t shake the visions that mar his awareness – the stark vivid image of Joe’s stout black baton reaming his lovely blushing mate (or was it a dream?) even burns through the stupendous reality of beautiful Crystal’s slippery labia wrapped tightly right around him, fucking him as if there were no tomorrow. Next he sees – or thinks he sees -a roused Arné Stook lifting his Lady Racheal’s fine slender frame up astride that buff body and cramming her down athwart his thick member, stretching her wider than ever before as he fills her womb with sticky gouts of his swarming sperm while cheers and jeers erupt all around.

      The cheering and jeering is already too real and liquid thumpings of slapping flesh come from various humping shapes in the dark. The longhall seems to pump and thrum with the seamy, steamy, swelling heat of impending eruption, and a voice begins to toll in his mind like a resonant bell; Be… Here… Now…

      Then a group of cloaked and hooded figures - all using Racheal’s body at once - bursts into Ram’s befuddled mind with the sudden recall of her recent admissions. He drives them away with Crystal’s kisses and tries not to remember his lover’s confession of guiltless pain; The reason for this, her strange behaviour, he assures himself while he strokes Chrissie’s breast and stokes her afresh.

      Even as Crystal moans into his hair when he pounds her body down into the mattress; even as he spreads firm cheeks wide and jams her closer with both large hands, more than filling her tight little pussy with rampaging, thrusting, pulsing man-meat; even as her soft, tight, surprisingly full and swollen breasts mash and slide on his smooth hairless chest; even as the clasping, grasping teen’s unclipped nails rake strips from his shoulders and her slippery tongue crams into his mouth - he sees Racheal’s climax writ on her face, feels Racheal’s ecstasy respond in her body, feels Racheal’s encouraging heels on his flanks and rides Racheal into a screaming, steaming, molten mass of orgasmic fucking femaleness.

      He makes ungentle surrogate love with his beloved High Priestess, willing her to feel his cock fucking her through the sex magick medium of Crystal’s sympathetic femaleness – transmitting his intent through the other girl’s body and willing himself to ride inside the male who pleasures his beloved like a puppet master, that he might be the one to truly bring her to ultimate ecstasy.

      And all the while an inner bell tolls; HERE… NOW… while slow opening strains from the overhead speakers lead up to the line that already sings an harmonic refrain in the far flung boondocks of Ram’s flaring brain - ‘Love the one you’re with!’

      His hands grasp her breasts and he holds on tight, pressing the girl right down through the mattress. He pounds and plunges and rides their wild tide of mutual lust to the heartfelt encouragement of strident screams that resound from Crystal’s wide open throat, almost drowning the staccato sounds of slapping flesh and horny cries that emanate from the other end of the suddenly populous longhall. He slides his hands beneath girlish hips, grabs two firm cheeks and pulls the pixie up off their bed while four slim limbs grip his rigid frame and lock him close inside her. “Oh, Ram,” she pants inside his hair, “oh God…”

      Strident screams of impassioned sex pour through the hall and his Lady Racheal’s unforgettable voice resounds from the walls – rhythmic cries echoing regular slaps of firm young flesh that bespeak her penultimate pleasure. Ram’s eyes are slitted and totally blinded by turbulent passion, livid desire, jealous rage and dazzling light. The hall is displayed in brilliant flashes that paint the walls with unforgiving brightness, revealing cracks and smudges that despoil the pilaster and dispel the romance of firelight. Someone’s turned on the strobe…

      He squints right over Crystal’s head, propelling the smaller teen up and down with her vigorous aid, aroused and vital and vainly jealous beyond all human measure. He blinks through shadows and blinding light to peer past a grove of sapling legs that conceals a scene already stark in his lustful imaginings.


       

      There on the lounge betwixt looming shades his Lady has found her chosen knight on this, her greatest night of nights. Ram’yana freezes in Chrissie’s embrace as Racheal’s sleek body bucks and bounces, jolting and flopping in fitful flashes espied between gaps in the shifty crowd. She jerks in a cascade of frozen images, wanton expressions lit bright and white and lividly vivid in the stark blinding light of the racing strobe. He watches her mount her chosen male, riding Arné’s fat cock on the padded chair, rising and falling in a broken string of bright serried images; framed by admirers, a crowning jewel in a bracketing brace of coupling couples, drunken, stoned, tripping – at least - and utterly shameless.

      And her eyes… As she rides astride Arné and twists right around to face the crew that surrounds her display, those beaming searchlight sapphire orbs pass through the onlookers, one by one, blinking and shining and glowing with joy, widely open and obviously unseeing as she screams a wordlessly rhythmic refrain.

      Arné’s grin is a feral leer of emboldened release, the mask of an orphan freed to escape to the fantasyland of a cherished dream. He fucks like a satyr, lost in throes of blind lust born of longing - and of Mandrax, grass, acid and alcohol mixed with the essence of dreams. The huge boy’s hands grip the curving hips of his long sought lover and lift her up to mash her back down, tossing her body around on his lap like a slippery doll of white silk and plastic. Her breasts roll around in a figure-eight, bouncing and rolling in time with her cries while he licks her long neck and sucks at her shoulder. Sheer sexual ecstasy transforms their faces with the glorious glamour of wanton desire, all captured in glimpses of gasps and moans, wide eyed bliss and wide mouthed cries that burn Ram’s eyes and ring in his ears like clanging chimes.

      He vaguely notes he’s mimicking their vigorous and rhythmic play, using Crystal’s small frame - her avid responses and whole hearted pleasures - as a surrogate for the lover he craves. “Oh yeah!” the girl moans as he jerks her body round and about, back and forth, up and down while he watches his beloved’s face and imagines it’s he who fills her eyes with blinding desire and unleashed grace. He’s wondrously lost in dimensions of lust, bold as a lion and strong as a bear; Just like Arné… a little voice tells him; This is what he feels right now, as he uses her as his fresh new silk-lined blow up living fuck toy...

      Chrissie swoons in his arms and her taloned hold and scissor grip unlatch away from his rocking frame. Her breathless cry is almost a whimper; “Oh yeah, o fuck, like ’at, like that!” Her upper body falls away like a raggedy doll’s to hang from Ram’s grip and wood-hard lance as he uses her flesh with merciless zeal. Just like Rache… He lifts her high and pulls her close, inspired by voluble cries of assent from near and afar. She’s light as a feather, he wonders anew as he uses the girl’s entire body to stroke and suck and pleasure his cock, thrusting and fucking her back and forth round his swollen, rigidly horny cock while she growls like a kitten, screams like a woman and cries his name with unmistakeable unstopped notes of matching insatiable teenage desire.

      And all the while he watches his true love fucking his hearty comrade and friend, and faithfully copies their frenetic efforts to make her come and come again, over and over before shadowy strangers and peers of the Court. The young shaman knows the spell will continue ’til the first rutting male blows his swarming seeds right up into a wide open womb and loses the unspoken contest - and Ram suddenly sees the primordial program that’s actually driving his unfree will and fucking flesh through Crystal and Racheal and all the fertile fields of womanhood in the vast blue-green realm of the Goddess Gaia. An endurance test, a primitive duel, witnessed by all the females here to prove our fitness to endure…

      Some of the onlookers have turned about to face the prince and his sexy kitten, occluding all sight of his paramour’s beauty just as she reaches the summit of climax. When Racheal’s orgasmic scream fills his ears he closes his eyes and pulls the girl’s body up against his, determined to savour every slick inch of Crystal’s silk skin and the fabulous heated vice of her pussy as though it were Racheal’s own.

      He buries his face in fragrant hair, inhaling the teen’s unique spicy scent to help banish the flagrant tormenting visions that dance through his brain – and in a few more moments of absorbing fucking he’s genuinely amazed by the uncanny quality of the slim fey creature who’s chosen to bless him with her most intimate charms. “Oh, oh, oh!” she pants and calls beyond upthrust breasts when he pulls her away to regard her beauty; “O yeah, o fuck, o man, o God!”

      Goddess, the prince belatedly realises, staring into the teen’s shining face; She’s absolutely fucking wonderful! And though he knows he’s already bedded the girl once before, this time it’s somehow for real.

      Yet he can’t bring himself to lift his face from her hair and once more glance across the longhall. Several looming forms have approached to surround them in any case, blocking the scene of Racheal’s strobe-lit public initiation. “Ooh, look!” A high-pitched voice squeals. “More fucking hippies!” He sees slender feminine braceleted ankles, the calf-length boots of would-be cowboys, flip-flopping thongs gripped by hairy toes and fish-netted legs perched on white stilettos – a quartet of voyeurs all watching his cock slide in and out of the gorgeous young runaway, who stares right back and bucks and screams and comes for them all in a gasping display, breasts upthrust for their predilection and obviously proud of their focused attention.

      Her screams and grunts of abandoned lust encourage Ram’s own innate prideful exhibitionism. He plays Chrissie’s perfect miniature body like a highly strung instrument for the looming onlooker’s vicarious amusement - stroking her skin and stoking the furnace of her fur-lined loins again and again with unquenchable need, thrusting and fucking her rag-doll body even after all her cries cease and she hangs from his cock, unmoving once more and almost insensate.

      It’s only as his own climax approaches that the drunken, tripping, lust-lost prince finally realises what he’s doing. He slows his movements and hoists the floppy teen’s light little body up once again, close to his chest to limit the sozzled girl’s total exposure to the giggling, grunting, commenting strangers – and buries his face in her thick red hair when he totally fills her tight gripping pussy with long hard cock and groans gouts of jism up into her womb.

      He reels on his knees, barely able to stay erect while his newfound playmate moans with joy as his seed pumps into her tautly trim belly. Her lips grip his shoulder and slide along the nape of his neck while she squeezes him inside and out. “Don’ worry,” an obviously inebriated female voice whispers into his ear while ragged applause pours down on their bodies. The fluttering butterfly of another small hand settles lightly on his shoulder. Crystal’s chin slips over the strange little hand and her entire body starts insistently fucking his come-slicked cock afresh.

      He knows she’s watching Racheal – and Arné – through the veil of his mane, and even though the strobe has been suddenly extinguished and darkness fills most of the hall, he’s sorely tempted to twist about to follow her gaze to where sucking, slapping, moaning sounds rise from several matched pairs of undulant bodies. At that very moment a silken sweep of long flowing hair and a soft pair of lips brush against Ram’s cheek. He turns and slips into a full throated kiss from the surprisingly libidinous and uninhibited Princess Moonshine, and feels her other hand start stoking the place where his body meets Crystal’s.

      Is she trying to distract me from Racheal? He hasn’t lain with the exemplary girl since the Lady Racheal moved into his bed a few months before, when Moonshine had seemingly lost all interest in pursuing him (or a likely threesome). Are both of them? It occurs to the befuddled prince that this surely seems a perfect time to reacquaint himself with the generous teen’s lustrous young body. There was a time, not long before, when they spent entire fornicating days and nights in each other’s eagerly willing company, and Princess Moonshine’s twinkling eyes assure him she’s not forgotten a whit.

      The moment their kissing begins afresh there’s no turning back. All three teens are equally stonkered and blown away by copious drink, powerful smoke and even stronger LSD and all inhibitions have left by the back door aeons ago in the mists of time. He’s soon enthralled by both girls at once, barely able to distinguish between one pair of lips (or rumps or breasts) and another in the occasionally flash-lit darkness. Even the light in the kitchen is out, leaving them bathed in a liquid darkness that’s fully populated by ravishingly salacious images which echo flagrant realities being enacted throughout the Centraxian stronghold.

      So blown away is the shaman prince he doesn’t even imagine that he’s making love with beloved Racheal while the twinned young beauties share him between them, in turn and at once, for an immeasurable interval of wheeling stars and succulent tactile labile delights.

      Even when single - but no less blinding - flashes erupt in the darkness (attesting to Vostra’s attempts at candid photography, presumably in role as Tribal Scribe), he barely turns to watch his ladylove disporting with his friend for more than a few seconds at a time. He concentrates on emulating the rocking rhythm of Crystal’s hips while sucking Moonshine’s outthrust tongue and exploring her interior alongside Chrissie’s sticky little fingers while they all rock and roll to the rock and roll that blares through the longhall and guides their flesh – all joining in a sacred choir of harmonised molten bliss.

      Some while later Ram’yana emerges from rapturous joy. A short sharp glance informs the prince that a closely packed enthusiastic scrum of shadowy figures still surrounds the seat where Arné was so hastily wakened – and is doubtless now well past the point of pleased surprise, if Racheal’s full-throated cries and flashing glimpses of her naked white body bouncing athwart a masculine torso are any guide.

      As he’s about to turn back into Moonshine’s arms he spies the half-clad figure of Lady Ringell squat over Arné’s hulking reclining body. She moves in a pool of lambent streetlight on the bottle-strewn floor, slowly grinding down on the lad she knows so well right beside Racheal’s feet – and Ram’yana understands what he’s seeing; his beloved is allowing another man to take her on her makeshift throne before a gaggle of other willing males, who move in to surround her more closely as he watches. One by one, each in turn, or all at once? he wonders while at least half a dozen men and women start tentatively stroking his beloved’s body and sucking on her flesh,; closing in around her until he can hardly see an inch of her pale glowing skin.

      He tries to tell himself not to be concerned, but can’t look away even when Moonshine kisses Crystal’s breasts while he keeps nailing the redhead to the floor. Moonshine rubs her sex against the smaller girl’s hipbone and they both bring the dark haired teen off with busily twining fingers while Chrissie twists and squirms on the bed beneath them. Ringell will watch out for her, he tells himself when the Centraxian princess cups his scrotum and drives his shaft up into Chrissie’s trim belly. And so will Arné… With that thought he returns to the task at hand and begins licking both girls’ tongues inside Crystal’s open, quietly moaning, ever so sweet little mouth.

      A single last glance at the flashbulb-lit scene reveals Racheal’s riveting upturned face through an orgiastic crew of allies and strangers. The sight of her wide open eyes staring directly into his while she moans and twists in manifold hands is weirdly arousing and petrifying. 

      Actinic afterimages of his Lady Racheal’s enraptured expression thrum through his mind with stroboscopic intensity even as Crystal fucks herself with his suddenly immobile rigidity; even when the teenage mage regains enough presence of mind and body to kiss one comely girl while screwing the other; even while each teen takes turns fucking the other with his rampant staff; even as he caresses a breast of each girl while they stroke and suck and stoke each other to mind blowing climax, again and again, while he mounts them with satyric glee – even, especially, when he comes inside the screaming, madly gyrating body of Princess Moonshine, Racheal’s gloating, red-rimmed eyes continue to fill his vision.


      It’s as if they’re all one fucking feline female in multiple forms. He comes inside her, and inside her, and inside her, in varied permutations and positions while the party slowly thins out in ember-lit darkness. But each time it’s Racheal’s trim belly he fills with hot white jets of fertile jism – every time he hears her scream out another mind-blown orgasm from the other end of the longhall in the arms of yet another stranger or tribal sister or brother or other, it’s Racheal he feels convulsing beneath and around him.

      His Lady’s cries only fade with his dimming awareness when his mind slips away in the gathering dark.

      “So good,” she says before her eyes prise open, “…even better’n… than…”

      “Practice sex?” her boyfriend suggests. Natasha tongues liquid saltiness that drips from her nostrils and dribbles from her lips and chin in sticky, torpid runnels. Her sozzled mind riffles through blurring lexicons while unfocused hazel eyes prise open into rays of slanting sunlight.

      “Better than being…” He almost says, “rudely interrupted by your brother?” but stops himself, unwilling to remind the breathless girl of her intrusive sibling. She attempts a frown and continues as though she hasn’t heard him; “...than the firs’ time… first time y’made me come…” Her eyes drift to his. “…back at camp… ’member?”

      “Every moment,” he avers, watching her eyes blink open; making an effort not to slur his words in drunken mimicry of the gorgeous girl’s mumbles while he admires the smooth, angular perfection of her aristocratic features. “Random access memory,” he reminds her while childhood recollections heave and toss like the roiling sea nearby. “But that wasn’t like… this…”

      Natasha attempts to heave herself up on one elbow but abandons the effort and subsides into the sand, still pressed partway beneath his sand-studded flesh. “Ev’ry moment? Everything?”

      “Everything.” Ram’s body freezes with this bold declaration. His mind is suddenly impaled by recurrent images of a little girl falling away into darkness –long blonde tresses and duck blue cotton skirt waving goodbye as her mouth opens into a scream. Natasha shades her eyes with upraised forearm and licks the last of his offering from her lips. “I bet y’don’t ’member being born.”

      He’s glad of the distraction; “How much?”

      She sniffles to clear her nose and glances down at their interlinked nakedness. “How much y’have on you?” Her eyes linger at the place where her hand grips his already rehardening shaft. She drops the meaty tube onto her belly and pulls at the band of her bikini briefs to stretch sandy material away from their loins.

      “Same as you.”

      “Don’ be too sure. Y’never know what a woman’s hiding away…”

      “I know a way to find out,” he whispers. He grabs the knee that lolls on his hip, hoists her leg upward and rolls closer - unerringly meeting her juicy labia and squeezing halfway inside her tight threshold in a single smooth motion. When she gasps and scrunches closer he fills her to the brim with blood-engorged flesh. Her eyes slip backward, then roll and blink before locking onto his with fixed intensity. He watches her mouth and eyes form three wide circles and waits, stilled, for her bleary sight to refocus. “See?”

      “Mmm… man…” Natasha moans before composing herself. “ Well?’ she demands with a toss of her mane as she eases away an inch or two. “D’you remember being born, or not?”

      “In this life? Well…”

      “You don’t.” When he eases a little further away, long nails claw his bum  to hold him in place and she squirms beneath him with a delicious twist. He closes the gap and embeds himself more firmly inside her.embrace “Mmm… Nasher…”

      “Don’ change the subject,” she insists. The tight flex of her thighs travels all the way up to his deeply buried crown as soft, firm, slender legs slide round his torso.

      “Oh, babe… doing this is pretty close to the subject…” He settles into the cradle of her hips and holds his weight above her sun-pinked breasts while he whispers down into her parted lips; “Uh… to tell you the truth, my first solid memory – in this life - is a couple of seconds later.”

      “Oh?” she says, flicking a sandy fingertip against his navel. What, when they cut yer cord?”

      “Around then. It was the smell of the doctor’s aftershave – I think that’s what brought me around… getting a whiff of that chemical burn while he was holding me upside-down in front of him. Or maybe when he slapped me on the bum – it all sort of happened at the same time.”

      “Sure… course it did.” He ignores the doubtful jibe. “He had thick black frames on his thick lensed glasses – they distorted his watery eyes, made him look like a fish. They looked huge. I could only see half his face, above the green gown and mask. He was sweaty and reeked of alcohol – aftershave, he wasn’t an alco…”

      “You reckon I’m an alco?” she asks. “Wish there was more… there’s still some hash…”

      “And there’s more of this…” He shows her how much, pleasantly surprising her into silence as her gaze weaves downward along his body. He sweeps their hair from her face and slowly glides back and forth while staring down into her glazing eyes. She succumbs to the gradual tidal motion, rocking and rolling her pelvis round his probing hardness. “Don’t change the subject,” she breathes through a crooked grin.

      “No… I don’t reckon you’re an alcoholic…”

      “Not that…” She slaps his bum and a seagull leaps from the esky at the loud report of skin on skin, flapping aloft to join hovering colleagues that ride the wind like hungry kites. He judders into her with unintended force and she cries out when he jabs up into her cervix.

      “Sorry…”

      “Unghh…”

      “…Uh… we could have another pipe…”

      “Ohhh… mmm… not… now… juss like that… don’ move…” Her lips are far sweeter than wine, more intoxicating than hashish. His eyes slip shut while he savours sweet bliss and tastes the inebriating fragrances infused in her breath. The sensation of her shifting beneath and around him is utterly absorbing. Her sighs waft their hair from his face as she slides, grinds and bumps in the sand. He watches her eyes suddenly snap open and she struggles to push him up off her breasts. “Oh fuck,” she says, “you came!”

      “Not in you… I mean…”

      “But there’s prob’ly still sperm in you!” She twists aside and extrudes him with unexpected strength and he flops from her tight wet heat before he can match her movement. “God, hope I sucked it all out of you…” Natasha rolls back onto the blanket and covers her precociously magnificent breasts with the thin cloth of her bikini top. She starts to fumble with its ties while she glances around the empty beach, but can’t manage to tie the strings into a bow while she sways on the sand. She gives up the attempt when she’s certain they’re still quite alone. He watches the cloth peel from her oily skin and flop into her lap and caresses her knee while she inspects her thighs and pubes for sign of semen. “Let’s have that pipe,” she announces, avoiding the glance he casts toward her.

      God she’s beautiful…

      The twin barrelled compass of her sight slides to his pole. “I think we’re okay,” she says through a strangely shy smile as she stretches her briefs back into place, completely concealing her freshly trimmed pubic hair. Perspiration dews the ultrafine down that graces her cheeks, her neck and her high smooth brow. Her catlike eyes shimmer in sunlight and carefully manicured nails draw oily trails along her sandy flank. Every detail of her perfectly sultry being is magnified by his passion. “An’ you’re still so hard…”

      When an index finger slides up his length from scrotum to cap his erection jerks against her palm. “Issat painful?” He considers respinning the old yarn about how dangerous and painful it can be for an aroused male not to come, then sees laughter dancing in her eyes. She looks away and he follows her gaze, seeing the crest of a foaming wave unroll beyond her gleaming shoulder. The swell pours in from the far horizon and majestically, slowly, progressively smashes itself to foamy oblivion on the endless shore of their private world. The sunshine is blindingly brilliant and basting even in mid-afternoon.

      Black rocks glitter in dazzling sunlight. A few yards from their sheltered nook an unfelt breeze swirls eddies of fine grit along a bare patch of sand while Natasha rummages through her bag for the small briquette of exotic Himalayan cannabis resin. Her scent is a compelling mix of coconut and slippery sex; her breasts are even more distracting, and he reaches for his camera while she retrieves the pipe from a drift of sand.
        
      “Uh…” she begins when she notices he’s aiming the wide angle lens at her. He presses the button and her startled expression is momentarily occluded when the shutter snaps open and shut. A slender, down-dusted forearm rises to cover her breasts while she crumbles resin into the diminutive bowl of the pipe. “Wish you wouldn’t. What if…”

      “Honey… you’re just so beautiful. It’d be a crime not too.” He watches dimples appear on either side of the bow of her curving lips.

      “Uh…” she looks down past her breasts and her smile widens at the sight of his enduring hardness. “Only if I c’n take some of you, too.”  The intensity of her regard almost makes him reach for a towel to drape over his erection, but he decides to stay firmly, proudly naked before his alluring girl. He still hopes to tease the last vestiges of cloth from her slick near-nude body. “Sure…” He holds the camera out to her; “Now? I’ll set it for you…”

      “In juss a minute… after a smoke…” As she lifts both arms to light up he snaps another rapidly refocused shot. “Not while’m toking!” she hisses through a bluish cloud. “Ah,” he says, “but you could be toking on anything – even red clover…” She frowns and mumbles round the pipestem; “So wass the nex’ thing ’at happened?” His mind swirls for a moment before he deduces her meaning; the swell of her ribcage and the way her breasts point even higher when she inhales is thoroughly distracting.

      “My mother’s eyes – a little while later, after a blinding flash and a feeling like bursting from underwater up into air. Everything was shimmering golden amber, and I saw a pair of whirlpools appear in the midst of a gently swirling, pulsating glow…”

      “Whirlpools?” Natasha’s sight is riveted to his, through rapidly dissipating smoke which wafts away along the beach in a discrete little cloud. Memory superimposes itself upon her beautiful visage as he slowly raises the camera.

      “Spinning whirlpools - completely hypnotic, holding my gaze. While I watched they slowly changed into a pair of eyes – my mother’s eyes – staring down at me; into me. And then her face slowly took shape around those eyes, and…” Natasha bursts into a coughing fit and hands him the pipe.

      “Sorry,” she sputters, “what a waste…”

      “I’ll finish it.”

      “Finish the story first,” she insists, peering at him through reddened eyes.

      “That’d take forever – what do you want, my whole life from go to whoa? I remember it all…”

      “To whoa? Yer not dead yet, man!” She tilts her head to one side, her expression unreadable as her eyes twinkle and glisten. “Come on – y’can’t remember everything. What about your dreams?”

      “Most of ’em,” he replies, lighting the pipe with a match that blows out before the bowl ignites. “Particularly the ones about you.” He lights it on the second try and fills his lungs with smoke.

      “I can just imagine…”

      “You ever dream about me?”

      In reply she leans back, throws her perfect bosom in his direction and sings a short stretch of a Monkees ditty with a surprisingly loud yet sweet lilting voice; “Oh what can it mean to a daydream believer and a homecoming queen…”

      His brow furrows. “Cheer up Sleepy Jean?”

      “Alla time,” she says and her hair whips around her face as she shakes her head from side to side, hiding any clue that might define her meaning. He takes the opportunity to snap another shot while the dizzied girl tries to brush sand from her oily body and stares around askance to check anew for visitors. “So, Mister Randomly Accessed Mammaries – is there anything you don’’member?”

      “Uh… I don’t know – I don’t remember.”

      “Ha fuckin’ ha. Come on…” She reaches for the pipe and he taps the bowl out against his bare heel before handing it over. When their fingers touch and begin to entwine his inner sight drifts through his earliest years, following the weft and warp of his life’s meanderings. The panoply of imagery grinds to a halt and his memories revolve around the vision of a toy xylophone and a falling, screaming girl – an image that freezes the breath in his smoky lungs.

      “Hand it over,” Natasha insists.

      “Okay,” he says without realising she’s referring to the pipe he still clutches so tightly. He barely notices her beautiful face and stares straight through her exemplary body to a far horizon while she removes the stem from his slackening grip. “There is something I don’t remember…”

      “Oh?” she says as she refills the bowl.

      “One thing… I don’t recall all of my third birthday…”

      “Um,” she says, reaching for the wooden matchbox. “Did y’have a party?”

      “Of course,” he answers, staring straight through her. “With lots of other kids and a big blue icecream cake that had an icecream steamship floating on it – but the cake half melted before the party and the ship was sinking into the cake when mu… my mother lit the candles.”

      “So y’ do remember…”

      “No; not all of it. Not everything that happened after the party.”

      “Far out; why – were y’drunk?”

      “Ha ha. Only on icecream.”

      “Wish we had some of that ship right now.” At her mention he espies a distant steel-blue steamer cruising just over her shoulder near the horizon, uncannily like the one on his birthday cake. The synchronicity is momentarily stunning. “We could go for a cruise,” she suggests. The idea seems hilariously outlandish and his smile threatens to break into stoned laughter until he realises she’s serious. “I’m so hot,” she says, fanning her breasts with one hand while taking the pipe from him with the other; “even a lifeboat’d do.”

      “You’re a hot chick all right,” the hippy replies through a dense bluish cloud. He’s surprised to see the blush that flushes up along the nearly naked girl’s breasts, throat and cheeks, further reddening her slightly sunburned white skin.

      “So what don’t you r’member then?”

      “There was a girl…”

      “Typical.”

      “A little blonde girl – she gave me a xylophone as a present, and when it was time for her to leave she came up to my bedroom...”

      “Whoo!”

      “Hey, we were both only three… and… uh…”

      Nasher leans closer and blows smoke into his face. “What?” she asks, obviously brimming over with salacious expectancy. “She taught you how t’play?”

      “I don’t remember.” Natasha leans back and taps out the pipe while she watches his cock slowly begin to soften and fall; “What don’ you remember?” His mind skirts away from a ball of darkness that roils beyond a frayed turquoise quilt where his three year-old self cowers in abject terror – and settles on another unsettling detail embedded in those same distant months. “Um… My bedroom had a balcony that was lined with chicken wire.”

      The change of subject goes unnoticed as Nasher combs tangles from her luxuriant hair with sandy oiled fingers. “Chicken wire?”

      “To stop me from climbing up the wrought iron railing –and falling off.”

      “Must’ve looked pretty ugly,” she says with a frown. He doesn’t want to tell her that his family’s first home had been nothing like Natasha’s palatial abode – had in fact been a shabby, narrow little rented two bedroom terrace, firmly embedded in a row of identical working class dwellings; hardly a slum, but nothing to impress the beautiful well-heeled girl whose body glows with enticing vitality - her smoky champagne breath washing over him from less than an arm’s length away. “It was like that before we moved there – the previous family lost their son. A three year-old boy… he fell off the railing and impaled himself on spikes between the fleurs-de-lis on the front garden fence.”

      “Wow!” Nasher’s hand lands on his knee and slides up his sandy thigh, bringing him back to the present. “Bummer.” Her eyes gleam with turquoise fire as she leans toward him and removes the camera from his slackening grip. “Did you ever see his ghost or anything?”

      “Sort of…” he says through a suddenly dry throat. “Uh… need something to drink…”

      “Drink this,” she insists, and jams her tongue inside his mouth while pushing him down. Her skin is an irresistibly enflaming lure as they roll onto the blanket, immersed in the bliss of a suckling kiss. Slim slippery thighs slip along his flanks and an equally firm pair of nubile breasts slide across his hairless chest and fall into his waiting hands. She squats above him and spreads her thighs until their sex almost meets; her cloth-covered heat hovers just beyond the straining tip of his instantly rekindled erection. She holds him at bay with an unremitting fist and rubs herself with his crown while tongues and breaths entwine.

      She comes up for air and a trio of gulls wheels above her glorious face in a cloudless expanse of aquamarine. “Maybe I left one of dad’s flasks in the van…” She kneels higher astride him and her eyes wander in the direction of the distant car park. He fondles her fulsome globes and is swiftly rewarded with the answering swell of hardening nipples and quickening gasps of breast-raising breath. “We can check before it gets dark,” he suggests, attempting to draw her back into afternoon’s delight.

      “Less find a place to camp on the beach f’r the night,” she says, peering onshore behind him, “instead of the car park. Maybe behind those rocks.” The sight of her glorious form rearing above him rekindles yet another series of flagrant memories.

      “There’s something I want… always wanted… to ask you...” He pauses, wondering how to word his inquiry while her inner thighs slide against his midriff. “Back at the camp, when we were in the tent together and all the other girls started chanting…”

      A seagull squawks and suddenly springs aloft from a nearby declivity, its presence unseen and entirely unsuspected until it starts flapping in the salty air. Natasha’s hands fly to her breasts and cover his grasp as she flings herself down upon him. “Someone’s coming…”

      “Someone’s coming Lord, Kumbia?”

      “Shh!” A pair of long sticks festooned with fishing lines emerges from the dunes, bobbing and swaying in slanting sunlight, soon followed by a pair of floppy fishermen’s hats. Natasha ducks closer as bearded, sun-wrinkled heads appear in profile against the startlingly blue sky.

                  Sumptuous breasts press deliciously close and his hardness pulses up between their squeezing bellies. Long auburn hair surrounds his face as the full smooth length of her well-oiled skin presses and slides against his. He hears the squeaky slide of passing feet in the powdery sand, feels his girlfriend’s heart race beside his, smells her fragrance mingled with coconut, alcohol and spicy hashish. His hands slip free to caress her flanks and skid beneath her bikini pants.

      As the footfalls retreat Natasha’s slippery little body slides downward, hard nipples trailing twin paths down his torso while the luxuriant veil of her silky hair cascades down his face. “Are they gone?” she whispers, and her breath bathes his shaft with a tantalising breeze. “Aye,” he replies without even bothering to check as the squeaking sounds fade into booming surf.

      Time slips, slows, stops and suddenly scintillates when a slippery tongue slathers round his crown.

       

      He groans and screams and comes and creams as she gulps and swallows and strokes his triune balls and washboard belly with wondrously teasing hands. Waves smash against sand as spume jets and bursts down her throat in gouts of spicy liquid maleness. “Ulp, umm,” she mumbles, swallowing gulps as she pulls away licking the creamy overflow from her delectable lips. “Wow… thassa bombora.”

      Her young mate is too dumbstruck to reply. “You know,” she continues, “a little tidal wave… like some’f those waves out there…” She points at the breakers and smiles. “Tastes so good… want s’more.” She grabs her glass and drains the last droplets, then lowers her head to his groin again, long hair shimmering; a dark waterfall concealing her face and hands.

      O fuck… His mind reels while his eager girlfriend suckles. O wow… His eyes slide open to witness the emblazoning image of the beautiful girl of his dreams - perfect little mouth stretched tautly round his girth through dark veils of hair, lost in her own private reverie as she lustfully savours the tastes and rhythms of a mouthful of salty cock. O aye, my princess, like that

      “You do that so well,” he breathes aloud. It’s hard to believe she never did this before yesterday… His mind mumbles below the sensation-lit peak of tactile awareness as he lies back in hot sunbaked sand and surrenders to serious sensuous ecstasy.

      A nearby squawk distracts him enough to slit his eyes against the glare. He sees the inevitable gull wheel up from a grass strewn hummock, where a bluish lump resolves into a floppy hat that ducks out of sight just as he spots it. He ponders alerting Natasha for all of half a second before closing his eyes, and studiously ignores nearby sounds of startled seagulls and squeaking sand until there’s nothing left of the world except her liquid mouth and soft, flexible, dextrous fingers.

       

      “Sometimes the urge to write it all down is irresistible…”

      “Write what down?” Natasha has discarded her bikini top and her pert breasts point pinkly skyward as she lies beside him on the blanket. Cascades of dark hair shade her freckly face from blistering bright sunlight and a small oily hand rests on his slightly furry thigh as he idly scans the nearby dunes for fresh sign of voyeur or interloper.

      “All this! Like taking a picture of you,” he explains, nodding at the 35mm SLR. “All these wild experiences ought to be recorded – be written down in a journal or something…” He leans back watching the tide-turning cycles of quivering water while he strokes her slim body with a sandy hand. The waves roll in from the horizon, rewrite transient messages on the shoreline in foaming wakes before slipping away on never-ending journeys, echoing and re-echoing around the globe.

      “For posterity? Or to mull over when you’re sitting in your rocking chair with a shawl over your knees?” Natasha laughs, continuing swiftly before he can react; “Or for you to jerk off over, maybe?” Her hand rides up his thigh and cups his half-hard, sun warmed cock through the thin material of the tiny borrowed swimming costume.

      It’s obvious she’s half pissed and saying the first thing that enters her provocative mind – so he does the same. “No,” he says with a smile. “That’s what you’re here for, woman She refuses to rise to the bait, merely squeezing him and holding more tightly to make him stiffen in her pulsing grasp. “How could you write everything down, anyway? You’d make a lot of enemies that way, for one thing...”

      “Maybe. Maybe not. Everyone has things in their life they don’t want anyone to know about - and you can bet that those would be the most interesting things they could record. There are probably things you wouldn’t want anyone to know about you…” The young shaman watches the bright young teen for any reaction but she remains warmly relaxed beneath his caress, eyes shuttered against the sunlight while she explores his penis with inquisitive fingers. When she starts stroking his cock more energetically his palm cups her right breast and stops its fluidic roaming across her chest. More than a handful… just like the rest of her…“…and I’m sure they’re very interesting.” Natasha’s fingers knead the length of his ever-ready erection while he slides his hand from her hardening nipple, glides it across her slippery coconut-oiled sternum and climbs to the peak of her other breast.

      “Me? I’m jus’ a normal girl who goes t’school and does her homework an’ piano lessons - and I go to Temple almost every Shabbas. This’s the first’ time…” Natasha laughs at herself, “the first time I’ve done anything I wanted to in ages. It’s the holidays and mum and dad’r away for a change, or I’d be lying by the pool right now instead’f enjoying the real world and this bright blue sky with th’ breeze on my skin – an’ enjoying you stroking my tits, darling.  Enjoying it so much.” Her hash and champagne-affected eyes attempt to flicker completely open but instantly close against the glare. “Normally nothing interestin’ ever happens to me. Nothing interesting ’nough to write down - ’cept this, an’ I wouldn’ write this down!” She strokes his length at a faster pace and blows a breeze across his crown.

      “Oh, Nasher…” He stops himself from asking “Why not?’ and succumbs to indelible pleasure. “All you have to do is step outside your door, outside your comfort zone…” he begins instead. She stops and sits upright before him.

      “Like – would you write this down?” Natasha successfully opens her intoxicated eyes and squints up at his wide grin in the shade of a raised forearm. “I know I would, maybe…” she continues before he can reply, “but who could I let read it – aside from you, maybe?”

      “You can’t be expected to let people read your diary…”

      “Until after I’m dead, that’s for sure! I guess you could write it down, though. Up to you.” He loves the way her breasts jiggle when she shrugs. “Who’d want to read it anyway? Everyone always lives in fas’nating times and hardly anyone reads anymore. So it’d be fine to write it all down ’cept for one thing…” Ram’s left eyebrow rises quizzically. He watches her whet her lips while he recommences massaging an unavoidably alluring breast. “We could be carted off t’ reform school for making love together, or be charged with being exposed to moral danger or something, jus’ being here drunk ’n’ naked like this. And you couldn’ write about the hash, either, or we c’d go to jail for years. Bein’ smart enough to write stuff down doesn’t mean you’re actually intelligent. You have to be careful in this world – anything can happen.”

      “Even good things,” the idealist concurs. “Like being here with you.”

      “Y’know where flattery’ll get you.”.”

      “You can tell it’s true by the lie detector in your hand. It never lies.”

      “That’s not true – I’ve seen it lie down a coupla times.” She winks and gives him a squeeze that he instantly reciprocates, filling his hand with ripe teat. “Mmm…” they hum in unison. “Ready for a swim yet?” she asks.

      “Maybe I’ll be insane enough after we have some more hash.”

      “You tripper,” she smiles. “Go on then, open it and we’ll get totally smashed. I’m sure there’s some whiskey in the van, too – for emergencies.” Ram’yana reluctantly releases her flesh and leans across to open the esky. His sudden movement makes his swimmers snap up over his hardness. The usual gaggle of furtive seagulls launches into the air to hover, screaming ‘Mine!’ while he pulls a small brown block from her bag.
      .
      He begins to unwrap the foil while Natasha unpeels the elasticised swimming trunks back over his erection. “Don’t you know that getting into trouble for writing things down is in my blood?” he asks as he nips a piece of resin off with a long thumbnail. Nasher looks up at him and her mouth lolls open, tongue poised an inch from his cock. She shakes her head before commencing to lick the full length clean of their orgasmic juices. “Oh, princess,” he moans as he tries to concentrate on filling the pipe’s small bowl.

      “You were saying?” She engulfs the head of his shaft with the tight torrid heat of her mouth before he can reply. It takes almost half a minute before the endlessly unreeling scroll of his primate mind manoeuvres its way back into control of his larynx. “Never mind,” he says. Her lips slip back over his glans, leaving him high and dry.

      “Really,” Natasha insists, taking the pipe and holding  it up between them. “I wan’ t’ know. Can’t you talk an’ receive fellatio at the same time?”

      “No-one’s ever asked me to before – it seems a little rude.” He reaches for the matchbox. “Health, wealth, happiness and love!”

      “Go on – oh, sorry; health, wealth, happiness and love! Can’t you jus’ act aloof and uncaring an’ keep talking to cover the fact you’re a young teenager who doesn’t know what t’ do in life – or with a girl for that matter - like most guys? You can do it if y’ try – I’ve seen you.”

      “That was a long time ago…”

      “Remember when I sucked you off under the trestle table when we were havin’ frishtik that time an’ you kept talking to Joe and Leo through, well, most of it anyway?” He lights the pipe and starts puffing it into life, then quickly passes it over. “All right,” he admits while she takes a long pull - before swallowing his crown back into the silken enfoldment of her taut little mouth and wrapping her small hands around him. “You have me there, ahh – but it was only to stop anyone noticing - hng... uhh… What was the question again?”

      Natasha doesn’t take a break in her lusty ministrations and the lad moans for a few solid minutes before his train of thought climbs back onto its tracks. “Mm, oh, honey…” He pulls Natasha’s long enshrouding hair away from her face and her faintly bloodshot eyes snap upward to meet his rapt gaze. The sight of her beautiful face suckling at his engorgement, waiting for him to continue, is a wonder matched only by the feel of her young flesh kneading and sucking his rigid sex, and squirming to meet his roaming oil-swathed palms. Ram’s fingers massage her firm, well-muscled body from her toes to the point where his cock meets her lips as he tries to focus on the words streaming from his mouth.

      Wild Life 14

        

      The Sun was high in the sky when they awoke in twinned tangles late the next morn. Both couples staggered naked into the new day from their shadowy, half-flooded boudoir and slowly made their way toward the banks of the overflowing stream. They variously paused to piss and blink, murmur and drink in the dazzling daylight, exposing soft city skins to the blazing sunlight while currawongs regaled them with pentatonic love songs.

      The river had risen appreciably overnight. Washing and preening amidst the strong currents without being bowled over was a challenge to the hungover hippies. Ona and Reema both retained the presence of mind to bring toothbrushes and towels along (unlike their boyfriends). They said barely a word as they scrubbed the sticky caked detritus of the night’s sweaty strivings from lover’s bodies in the turbid water.

      When they’d been cleansed by their mates the men sat on the bank, content to watch the day unfold around the focal points of their girlfriends laving water over supple female bodies in the rising heat. “You don’t know what’s about to happen to you here in Oz,” Mark confided to his guide while they watched the girls washing and brushing. Ram’yana looked askance at the smiling German tourist while he explained further; “Everything’s about to change between the sexes – nothing will be the same as it was for our fathers ever again. Believe me. It’s already happened in Europe and coming here is like stepping back ten years and watching it all happen again.”

      “Watching what happen? Equality between the sexes? It’s about time!”

      “Ah, but when women become equal they are the ones who end up running the show. They decide everything anyway...” He winked at Ona, who waggled her bum in reply. Plashing water concealed his words from the young women. “It’s not so bad actually when you get used to it – and the women are much better in bed now, much more fun; so some older men tell me. But it’s a very lonely world for guys who don’t get it. It’s going to be a real shock to a lot of old-style people.” He regarded Ram’yana with a serious expression. “But I think you get it. You’ll probably be okay when you see that women have all the real power now.”

      “You know, people used to say the world would be a better place if it was run by women,” said Ram. “You’d hear it all the time, right up until Maggot Hatcher was elected in Britain – Margaret Thatcher,” he explained.

      “Oh, yes, she was brutal, but any woman who makes it to the top in a patriarchal system has to be at least as bad as the men she competes with,” Mark said as he tossed a stone into the centre of the stream.

      “That’s what feminists say about her, too. But you don’t hear much about how good it would be with women running everything any more. I think equality is better, and that’s what everyone really wants.”

      “Ya, but when women are equal they’re automatically superior.” They both turned to watch the girls, who were standing shin-deep in the flow and beginning to paint patterns onto each other’s faces and trim naked bodies, using russet ochre from the bed of the creek. “You see? They can’t help it. Look at them. They’re just superior…”

      Caked, cracked ochre was peeling from Ona’s and Reema’s suntanned skins in a blast of approaching noonday heat by the time they returned to Grey’s half-built house. Partying the last hour of morning away with their amicable host was inevitable. “The creek’s going down - you should be able to make it back across by noon,” he assured them. “But stay as long as you want, guys. There’s plenty more local produce on this side of the river!”

      Midday arrived with the sweltering blast of a summery scorcher and they all happily elected to wait another hour before giving the crossing a try. They sallied forth when the flow had subsided enough to make an attempt that wasn’t an outright act of suicidal bravado. By the time they were settled into the Nexusmobile all the travellers were baked in more ways than one.

      The riverbed was invisible beneath swirling currents of soil-rich water and the crossing seemed more than a little wider as they rolled toward the place where the twin muddy trails of the driveway disappeared into turgid murk. Grey stood on the bank in a Balinese sarong and directed them onto a better course than the driver would have chosen. Nonetheless, the van floundered and wallowed midstream once again, threatening to capsize or be swept away. “Oh, shit!” Ona cried from the back she waved to Grey. A crazed leer accentuated her high boned Scandinavian features while Mark’s eyes grew as large as duck’s eggs..

      “It’s okay,” Ree assured the tourists while small waves battered her passenger door. “We have enough clearance.” The van wallowed midstream, almost lifting from the bed as it rocked and swayed in shifting currents. She turned to Ram’yana, who manhandled the steering wheel and gearshift with both eyes riveted to the far bank. “Doesn’t it?”

      “Maybe too much…” The van swam like a dolphin, diving and bucking through the deepest hole yet, wheels bouncing from the uneven bed while the passengers clung to the nearest handhold. But the worst aspect of the crossing was unfelt and invisible. Beneath the seat of the clench-teethed driver the van’s radiator was slashed open by the plastic cooling fan, which deformed with water pressure when the vehicle half floated through a scarily deep pool. The radiator emptied almost instantly without any noticeable sign while the vehicle’s tyres struggled for traction. They barely made it back across.

      When they reached the far bank and drove across muddy cow pasture to the unpaved road the temperature gauge indicated no problem whatsoever, and they all breathed smoky sighs of celebration and relief. They trundled along the winding dirt road that led back toward ‘civilisation’ unaware of any problem, singing along with the cassette player and emptying more of Ram’s travelling stash.

      Perhaps the odour of burning oil ought to have alerted the driver as they approached the nearest tiny town, thirty klicks distant, but he’d spilled a little fluid on the engine when he topped up that morning and thought nothing of it. The tape deck filled his ears with Ree’s choice of Annie Lennox compilations and the couples were in high happy spirits as they wended their way through picturesque vales past forested riverbanks.

      After thinning stands of battered trees gave way to grassy fenced fields and overgrazed paddocks they reached the little logging village and pulled up to the kerb outside the service station on the main street. Just as they pulled over a terrific caterwauling erupted from nowhere and everywhere, stunning the party into silence.

      The Nexusmobile stopped with the same hideous metal-rending squeal and noxious eruptions the Sydney Harbour Bridge would make if it unexpectedly fell onto an oil tanker. Noxious gouts of greasy black smoke enveloped the vehicle’s shuddering body and all four clambered from the doors coughing and choking. They fled the foul cloud that billowed across the wide street to besmirch the police station.

      The village was a strip of old wooden clapboard shops fronted by wide verandas. That they’d broken down directly outside the only garage for miles seemed particularly fortunate - at first. When it became obvious that the van’s problem was probably severe the hitchhikers somewhat sadly bid their host and hostess a warm adieu and thumbed their way off toward the coast while a scrum of backwoods mechanics poked around the smoking body of the Nexusmobile and perused the damage with dollar signs for eyes.

      The prognosis wasn’t pleasant; it would be days before they were mobile again. Reema suggested they go back to Grey’s place for the duration. They crossed the road to the only public phone in town, hoping the heavy rain hadn’t cut off Grey’s line. When he finally answered after Ree’s first fruitless attempt the isolated hippy said he’d be glad of the company for a few more days and – after picking them up from town and ferrying them across the river with sundry supplies – made them heartily welcome again.

      “I hope Zsuzsi gets in contact soon,” Grey said between pulls on the helmeted head of his Ned Kelly bong when they’d settled into the converted sunroom kitchen. “I have to tell her about her cat.”

      “You mean Bast?” Ram’yana well remembered Zsuzsi’s Siamese; two of her kittens awaited him back home in the Emerald City. “What about her?”

      “Yep. She left her here with me when she and Ricco had to split,” Grey sputtered through a cloudy stream of cremated bush buds. “But she came on heat and ran away into the bush. Haven’t seen her since.”

      “She loves that cat. I’m surprised she didn’t take her.”

      “She couldn’t – not overseas on a holiday – and when she went on heat…”

      “You can’t control a Siamese on heat,” Ram’yana commiserated.

      “Or a Japanese,” Reema assured them. Her jest was rewarded with a disconcerted frown from Grey and an annoyed expression from her lover. “Come on,” she said, “you know what she was like when she lived with you...”

      Ram’s brow furrowed further, approaching a glower. “I don’t like to discuss my lovers with others.”

      “With other lovers, or others in particular?” she asked with a grin and a sidelong stare at Grey – who looked out the window and made himself busy shelling pecan nuts. “Come on - we all know what she’s like. I just want to know what she likes…”

      “She likes her little Bast more than anything in the world,” Ram told Reema as her fingers combed through her tangled tresses. She smiled. “Not anything, surely? What about boys… and girls? Didn’t she share a bed with you and Fae for years? What was that like?”

      “I might start cooking dinner,” Grey announced and hastily fled for the kitchen before Ram could reply. “Come on –you can tell me,” Ree persevered. “I heard what she sounded like when you were fucking her. Everyone did. She screamed like a banshee. She must get it on with girls, too - she must have, when you were all fucking each other. What was it like having those two gorgeous wild creatures at once, every night?”

      Ram’s glared was offset by the hint of a wistful smile. “If you must know, they usually took it in turns.”

      “Ho ho!” laughed Ree. “A different one every night, eh?”

      “No – they’d swap each time, every night. All night, or until one of them passed out, usually.” Reema’s hand began stroking his leg. “How gallant of you to stop when they fell asleep. Usually. But surely you all did it together, too?”

      “Only when Fae felt like it.” He chose not to mention that he and Racheal had made love with Fae almost every night when they all shared a home and bed.

      “So you did all do it together – and Fae was your number one wife, not Zsuzsi?” Her fingers reached his inner thigh as her lips approached his mouth. “I’d like to meet her one day.”

      “I don’t number my mates.”

      “Just as well or you’d lose count.” Her lips hovered an inch away and her eyes locked with Ram’s indulgent frown. Spry fingertips began stroking his hardening manhood through slim cotton trousers. “What number would I be, I wonder?”

      “Whomsoever I’m with is always the only one,” he said. Just before their lips met Reema replied; “Charmed, I’m sure. Now tell me more… in a minute…”

        
      A few days later the mechanics in the little village’s ancient, crumbling converted wooden smithy finished rebuilding the Nexusmobile’s engine and the lovers began their drive back to the Emerald City during a promisingly bright moonlit night. At first nothing seemed amiss, but after less than an hour a strange background noise suddenly rose in volume.

      “Sounds bad,” observed Reema.

      “Sure does. I’ll pull over…” They raised the seat, but an inspection of the engine showed nothing obviously amiss.

      “Maybe it’s just the tappets…” Ree suggested.

      “The wrong sound for tappets, I think. Let’s press on and keep an ear out for trouble.” All the way home to the comfortable bungalow dubbed Delta House, Ram’yana wondered why the motor was making such a godawful racket. He stopped to inspect the engine at three different petrol stations but found nothing obviously amiss except the ongoing clattering noise somewhere beneath the alloy head.

      The Rooster - his usual mechanic back in the Big Smoke - delivered the bad news, preceded by a question; “How far did you say you drove it after they changed the head gasket?”

      “Oh, about five hundred klicks.” The mechanic wiped his hands on greasy overalls and rolled his eyes at an equally greasy offsider. “No way,” he replied. When he saw Ram’s querulous expression he continued. “Not possible.”

      “What? Why not?”

      “Whoever butchered your engine did such a bad job they put some of the parts in upside-down…”

      “An’ ’ey left other buts out completely,” his Kiwi assistant concluded. “No way et made et five hunnerd kays.”

      The battered van, which had already been deformed by years spent in service to the previous owner (a safe building company’s solid metal constructions had torn away all the interior padding and irreparably dented the bodywork) lasted another year. The rebuilt engine finally gave up the ghost as the beast was put out to pasture, when there was nothing left to weld together except spreading patches of rust.

      It served as a guest bedroom for itinerant hippies and ferals for a time, slowly subsiding into the block of land whose title deed Ram’yana ultimately purchased from Ricco (Decades later the Nexusmobile still resides there, a rusting hulk slowly disappearing into the black rainforest topsoil, slowly cannibalised by mechanically minded locals and eventually cut in half to make room for a concrete composting toilet).

      A few nights after their return to the Big Smoke, Ram’yana was staying with Reema at her place near the beach – a comfortable bungalow surrounded by similar brick boxes ranked in wavy streets strewn along eroded, denuded hills and the salty, grass-studded sandy banks of an ancient dried-up estuary; prime real estate. “Have you ever had Andrella?” she asked, apropos of nothing while he languidly moved within her; “Yet?” she amended with a smile and a squeeze.

      “Uh… Andrella?” he puzzled as he slowed to a halt between her slick thighs. He’d been brought up to think of discretion as a hallmark of gentlemanly nobility and, despite varied and tumultuous experiences, he was still disturbed by the way many women seemed to revel in gossiping about the most intimate, private matters.

      “You know, the redhead,” Ree said and began rolling her hips for them both. “That English rose – or Welsh lily, maybe… mm… I’ve seen you looking at…” He found his rhythm again and interrupted her with slow deep thrusts. “No…,” he said, “not yet.” Their smiles were simultaneous and identically wicked.

      “Oh yeah…” she breathed, “Mm… I’ve been trying to get into that fair maid’s panties for months now, mm… a bit like that, yes, oh, oh… but she seems uh… impervious to uh my charms… oh, oh, fuck, oh yes…”

      Even as Ree’s mention of Andrella fixed the redhead’s image in his mind, Ram concentrated on making love with the aggressively responsive, moaning young woman beneath him - yet it was soon all but impossible not to imagine he was making willowy, lithe Andrella scream and writhe with undoubtedly genuine passion on the queen sized bed in the house of Ree’s father, instead of the tumultuously orgiastic young Reema.

      “If you get her,” his vexatiously erudite and sensual predator fuck buddy said half an hour later when they were sharing a post-coital smoke, “just let me know and I’ll come over.” She assumed he knew she was talking about Andrella, as though their earlier conversation had simply continued, uninterrupted by athletic sex and multiplex orgasms. Naturally, he did.

      “Please don’t put ideas into my head,” he entreated while stroking her softening nipple. She placed the joint between his lips and said, “Someone sure needs to. And I just know you’d like to put more than ideas into that hot little redhead. I certainly would; I surely do. And I’ve seen the way she looks at you, too, when you’re not watching.” She sucked on the spliff while he exhaled. “Why not give her a call?” she sputtered. “You never know til you try.”

      “Not much chance of that; Andrella’s hardly ever spoken to me.”

      “I know. It’s a real pity. I’ll probably have to wait months for you to bring her to my bed, unless I can find someone else who’s up to the task. It’s too hard to get her alone at the Oasis. Or  anywhere. They flock around her like flies.”

      In the event it took more than a year. Reema stayed in the city when her shaman lover moved to the bush a few months later, to plant and tend trees and build a new home while keeping the magazine going in a small two room shack. He bought the deed to the land where Zsuzsi had been living with Ricco, in the next valley over from Grey’s place.

      He came to the city every couple of months to see his infant daughter and to arrange printing and distribution for the magazine, and embarked on three or four more relatively serious serial relationships. And when his next vehicle eventually succumbed to the rigours of rural life he had to return to the Big Smoke yet again, to buy yet another new second-hand Nexusmobile.

      Ram’s desperado neighbour C.C. offered him a lift to the city along with another associate (who was doubtless in search of higher grade heroin than was available in the remote villages that serviced these wild men of the bush; the tyranny of distance presented a common problem for alcoholics, junkies and addicts of most kinds in those ancient days).

      They arrived in the Emerald City after only two run-ins with the highway patrol. Ram’yana bid the others farewell and was pleasantly surprised to bump into gorgeous red haired Andrella only an hour later. He was cruising one of his more usual haunts when a streaming waterfall of bright orange hair caught his eye. She sashayed toward him through the crowded venue, willowy hips swaying, her breastbone revealed by an unfastened bolero jacket. Her gaze was locked to his as she pressed her glass of red wine into his hand. They broke into effortless conversation and were soon speaking with heads leaning closely together, their long manes mingling in amber candlelight.

      The shaman’s usual experience was to bed a girl on the first night he saw her; on rarer occasions the second time they made acquaintance. This was the second time he’d met the mysterious, artistic Andrella and he swiftly found the lissom young women utterly captivating. When she found he had nowhere to stay she immediately invited him back to her flat.

      He didn’t call Reema.

      The next morning C.C. phoned Andrella’s place (he’d somehow sussed where Ram was staying) to offer him a lift to the nearby Great Dividing Range, where he said he knew of a van for sale. He announced he’d be around to pick him up in a hire car a couple of hours later and the newfound lovers took full advantage of the time.

      C.C. hired the cheapest transport available for the journey – a three cylinder belt-driven Russian Lada– with the explanation that his smacked-out companion needed their other car to sleep in. The Lada was a tinker-toy whose buttons and handles all snapped off at the lightest touch; strangely, they seemed designed that way and could easily be snapped back into place.

      When they finally arrived at their destination atop the nearby mountain range, C.C. announced that he had to go inside and arrange the deal for the van alone. It soon became obvious that Ram’s neighbour was – unsurprisingly - in pursuit of some heroin after all, and a van had never been part of his plans; he’d simply been worried about dealing out large sums of money alone. Ram fumed as he waited outside the nondescript fibro shack at the end of a sandy road, staring into sparse, burned bushland while C.C. did his deal. I could still be in bed with Andrella…

      After a surprisingly short interval C.C. slowly emerged from the door, glassy-eyed and mumbling as he climbed back into the little toy car. He’d thrashed the Lada so mercilessly when he raced up the mountain that the little vehicle’s rubber band gear train had stretched; he’d managed to hire an improbable belt-driven car. They barely made it back to town.

      They stuttered along in fits and starts through masses of weekend traffic. Ram’yana sat silently scrunched into the passenger seat, wondering if Andrella would be home when they returned. He fixed his gaze on passing scenery and was soon fuming almost as much as the tiny two-seat car. C.C. finally dropped him off at Andrella’s apartment block, leaving in a fuddle of pin-eyed apologies. He promised he wouldn’t call Andrella’s place again before driving off to his associate, who expectantly awaited a delivery of opiates in C.C.’s parked hatchback at a nearby vacant lot.

      It was all very depressing. Heroin was rife in the decades following the Vietnam War (essentially an Intelligence war over control of drug supplies). Most suburbanites barred their windows and placed security screens across their doorways to stem regular and widespread burglaries by junkies in search of something to steal and exchange for smack. Ram’yana was all too accustomed to being confronted by shock troops in the ‘War on Drugs’ wherever he looked, and tried to put C.C.’s disappointing journey behind him.

      The next day he found the new Nexusmobile – a diesel powered commercial van covered on all sides with the worlds ‘Effective Damproofing’ – in an auction yard, and drove back in triumph to the fey redhead’s door.

      He hadn’t told Andrella much about any of this in the few days they’d been together. It hadn’t seemed necessary. Now, judging by the expression on her face as she watched him pack his bag, he never would.

      “Remember the genie bottle,” she said, and handed him the present she’d given him the previous night – an exotic looking hand painted, gold leaf embossed piece of glassware stoppered with a cork and sealed with beeswax. He watched the smile that didn’t reach her eyes and tried to think of some way to breach the palisade she’d hastily erected between them.

      “Don’t open it until it’s time to release the Djinn,” she said through that crooked little smile.

      The last afternoon in town was reserved for his beautifulfirstborn child. The three hours he was allowed with the little toddler dispelled any vexing thoughts of Andrella and Seheal. They went to the park and fed ducks, geese and swans with the vestiges of a picnic lunch while she enthusiastically divulged her plans. “I’m gonna be anastic star, and you have to write ‘nastic star’ on all the labels on all my clothes.”

      “Anastic star?”

      “No, nastic star!” she said in a tone reserved for all slow, doltish adults.

      “Okay – but what’s a nastic star? Are you changing your name?”

      “You know,” she said as she hurled a scrap of bread to a small duck struggling at the edge of a quarrelsome gaggle of geese. “Someone who does nastics really well of course!”

      “Of course…” By the time they’d circled the pond he realised she meant ‘gymnastic star’.

       

      “And so,” he says to a bemused Seheal a few hours later, “now I have to write it on all her labels instead of her name.” He isn’t sure he should broach the subject of his daughter (and by implication her mother) with the gorgeous teen, but decides that discretion has nothing to do with valour and everything to do with ego.

      And survival…and success… an unceasingly pondering part of him muses as he envies the alluring pink tongue that’s whetting the astounding redhead’s perfect lips.

      “I always wanted to be a gymnastic star, too,” says her luscious smile as she stands before him, swaying to the beat of Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Her body slides through a thin cotton dress while she undulates barefoot on polished wooden boards and the bright, warm blessing of her grin beams down into the open vessel of his frank adoration.

      “Relax, don’t do it, when you want to go through it…”

      Somehow her entire body glows, impossibly yet undeniably. Her skin shines with a lucent gleam that almost blinds him and the intricate flames of her curling hair seem surrounded by a brilliant nimbus. He’s certain it isn’t his imagination or a sign of failing eyesight; everything else around her resplendent form seems completely normal. Yet Seheal is so brilliantly white that she’s literally phosphorescent in the dingy yellowish light of her shared subterranean lounge room.

      Firm round breasts roll under her gown and he watches the hypnotic points of faintly pink nipples snag against the translucent fabric. Breathless and stunned, he reorients his gaze on her glittering eyes and is pleasantly surprised to watch them rove his body with identically obvious interest. He inhales a field of fresh pink roses that seems to flow from the billowing dress and holds his breath lest he break the spell.

      Pure magic… The thought whispers through his astounded mind. Beyond merely human… the numb stream flows on; A Goddess… He hasn’t felt so smitten since… he can’t remember when.

      When Seheal’s eyes meet his he’s utterly stunned. Sapphires or emeralds? He can scarcely believe his overwhelmed senses. A gleaming cloud suffuses the teenager’s extraordinarily beautiful pixyish face. Slender arms and graceful hands emerge from the short wide sleeves of her virtually sheer and shapeless white nightgown. Limber white legs and pale dainty feet flow and glow from the flowering hem, and all of her perfectly gracile form is aglow with an eerie fey light. A bluish whiteness flows all around her like pure cool flame. Her teeth sparkle like stars, gleaming with a radiant dazzle as she says, “You must be so proud.”

      “Proud?” he replies to the uncannily glowing, incredibly beautiful young goddess who’s deigned to make his acquaintance. “Oh, she’s amazing and wonderful and I’m so happy to be her father!” The stream of words pours forth of its own accord, unedited by his befuddled mind; “But her life is her own - she’s her own being, not mine – nothing she is or does is something I’ve done to be proud of, really.” He watches amusement dance in her eyes while he tries to take command of his rambling speech. “But I know what you mean. Of course I’m proud of her…”

      “And you were with her all afternoon?” she asks with an even wider, whiter smile they reaches right into his heart and squeezes. The sound of her voice is a surprisingly deep mellifluous blend of silk and honey. Each word is perfectly, guilelessly articulated. “That’s lovely! I hardly ever spent a whole afternoon alone with my father.” Her lips press together, erasing twin crescent dimples as she glances away. For the briefest moment her glow seems to fade like a moon’s eclipse.

      The shaman tries not to entertain the thoughts that arise unbidden from spooling programs that litter his mind. He tries to avoid the insistent insinuation that even such an amazingly attractive teenager may be insecure enough to crave an absent father – or a surrogate father figure. He dispels the idea with an internal shudder and concentrates on admiring Seheal’s patrician profile, the generous mop of her coppery curls and the graceful equine curve of her throat.

      I want to be her lover, not her father… he tells himself while another part of him makes a swift calculation. Anyway, I’m not quite old enough to be her father….

      Another facet of his mind chimes in; Don’t flatter yourself; she’s probably just getting a lift up the coast with her things, as she said… This young goddess could have anyone she wants, anywhere, anytime… and she probably wants a younger guy…

      Yet as he stares into the shining eyes that swing back toward him he’s somehow certain that the sudden smile she bestows upon him declares an unmistakable intent. When their gazes meet her blinding luminescence returns in full strength and the rest of her form mists over, hazing into shimmering light. “Most of the afternoon…” says his grinning mouth.

      Seheal’s native scent suffuses the room, drowning the freshly fragrant memories of another very different redhead that still linger on his freshly washed skin.

       

      After he’d dropped his daughter back home he retrieved building materials (second hand throwaways gleaned from renovation sites in the more upmarket ‘aspirational’ suburbs of the Emerald City) and filled the back of the new Nexusmobile with doors and windows, lumber, pipes, fittings, flashing and wooden panels. Only when he was finally ready to head off and pick up Seheal and Yeti – a wild British immigrant - from their respective abodes in adjacent suburbs did he realise he’d left his address book in Andrella’s bedroom.

      It wasn’t far to her apartment and the Sun was still a few degrees shy of setting. He judged he had enough time to pick up the notebook (and maybe smooth things over with the lovely young woman, if she was home) before heading to Seheal’s.

      He didn’t ring ahead but turned up on Andrella’s doorstep unannounced, come what may. As her silhouette appeared in a crackled glass panel he steeled himself for a confrontation, yet when the door swung open Andrella was immediately effuse with unbridled apologies.

      “I’m so glad you came back,” she said as she ushered him inside. She appeared surprisingly contrite and inviting, her lean, pale body half dressed in a short unfastened towelling robe. Long, wet, radiant orange hair streamed down across her shoulders and dangled to her partly covered breasts. “You remembered your camera after all…” She nodded toward a bureau and he saw his SLR perched on a silver platter. Her smile broadened and quirked when she handed it to him and said, “There are some vivid memories in there – and room for a few more. I didn’t think you really forget it. Or them…”

      Does she mean it…  The notion of taking more pictures of Andrella’s completely exposed beauty was irresistible. She’d been a perfect subject over the last couple of days, even if she’d balked at being photographed while actually fucking him. She led her surprised guest straight through the living room and into her sundrenched bedroom, where she suddenly turned to face him with head tilted quizzically to one side. He barely had time to raise his eyes from the firm rocking hemispheres of her half revealed derriere. …or does she really just want one last goodbye fuck?

      She might have been listening to his thoughts. “I really wanted us to part on better terms,” she said without a trace of a smile. “You know I’m going to the Mother Country in a couple of days and…” Time stood still. Her eyes peered up into his as she bit her lower lip. Her fingers twiddled a bright orange strand of hair. He dropped the camera onto her bed. They reached for each other at the same instant.

      Her mouth was a liquid torrent of kisses and her smooth white skin was taut and enflamed. Rigid nipples and the pliant cushions of firm nubile breasts pressed into his chest. His fingers slipped under the skimpy robe and slid all the way up along her flanks, her sides, her upraised arms. As her perfumed mane poured down round his face he flung the towelling onto the floor. A long lean leg twined about his thigh while he stroked and cupped her heat-flushed nakedness.

      “I thought…” he began as they came up for air.

      “…too much,” she said while a deft hand unzipped his fly and slipped into his pants. “Or perhaps not enough.” Andrella picked up the camera and handed it to him again as she dropped to her knees on the rug. He sighed and watched her eyes blink and bulge while her slick pink lips stretched wide and wider around the mushrooming crown of his already swollen stiffening cock. What a shot… Both her hands began to stroke his shaft, feeding it into her inch by inch until her nostrils flared amid his pubes. He groaned with animal pleasure and unclipped the leather cover from his camera.

      Andrella’s cunning tongue swirled around his length even when her mouth and throat were chock full of thick, hard man-meat. Her fingers dug into his buttocks and pulled him in as deeper than he dared, as deep as he could go. Her eyes squinted shut as she pushed him up against the wall. She held him there with a palm pressed against his belly while her throat constricted around his shaft with rhythmic, serpentine contractions.

      Even with mouth misshapen and stretched by his swollen girth she was an amazingly photogenic young woman. He stood in the pooling heap of his pants and hoped he was focusing the camera on the place where her lips swelled, stretched and puffed around his shaft. How can she hold her breath this long? was his last rational thought for a surprisingly long while.

      Yet he was intent on fucking the willowy redhead until she screamed his name over and over - before they parted on the best of terms. He barely managed to restrain himself while she did her best to milk and suck his seed down through the surrogate vagina of her elastic lips and way, way down into the gripping tubular vice of her throat. I want to feel the real thing… and give something back…

      And I may have to save something for Seheal… 

      When the exiled shaman realised he was thinking of the other girl – even one so attractive as that glorious, pixyish, other young redhead - while Andrella was trying her best to bring him to a blinding orgasm, he felt craven and despicable. But the thought of that magnificent younger girl magnified her presence in his mind until it was Seheal’s mouth wrapped round his cock, Seheal’s hands stroking his furry balls and Seheal’s breasts pressed against his flexing thighs as he rocked backward and forward, fucking her unforgettable face.

      When he finally realised what he was doing he tore himself free. Pulling the last few inches from Andrella’s suckling throat took every iota of will power. He dropped the camera onto the bed and lifted the slim young woman up onto her feet by her shoulders, slid his hands down over her breasts and belly and into the gap between her slim thighs. “You’ve shaved,” he observed, and hoisted her up with both palms cupping handfuls of firm ripe cheek. He parted her thighs with his forearms and pulled her onto and right up along the full length of his manhood with a stupefyingly rapid thrust. She was blazing hot, gushingly wet and thoroughly ready.

      She pressed her body’s full lean length against him, threw her arms round his neck and groaned as he filled her completely. A wintry sunset poured in through the window and drenched them with fire. He gripped her tighter, unmoving, and turned to pin her against the sun-painted plaster. Her hips worked to draw him in even closer as he spread her wider and throbbed up inside her. “Nail me to the wall,” she breathed. So he did. “Hang on tight,” he whispered as he lifted her legs with a flex of his arms and planted her ankles up onto his shoulders.

      Pretty as a picture,” he said, and started fucking her into a mindless frenzy. Her teeth gripped his throat and her hands grabbed his buttocks to steer his machinegun thrusts. Her silken vagina gripped even more tightly than the wet rings of muscle inside her throat. He closed his eyes to savour each moment and tried not to think of Seheal.

      Adder Ladies & the Dawn of Ra 29
       * 


      A flock of chittering sparrows wheels into a landing pattern above the shaman’s head. They swiftly assemble into serried ranks on the taut black wires strung through tunnels cut into the glossy foliage of native  fig trees. The chattering sentinels groom tiny feathers as they alight in waning orange sunshine.

      His bare soles sink into a cool living mat of lush green grass on the ‘nature strip’ set betwixt blacktop road and concrete footpath. In less than two minutes he’s climbed the hill to a place where sunlight falls directly upon him. He stares into the hearth of the blazing Sun as it sinks into a glorious, chemically induced miasma of vivid reds and magentas, viscid greens and turquoises, of pale vapid blues and fading lavender; a rancid pallet tinting nature’s sky with the innumerable industrial poisons vented aloft by the denizens of the Emerald City.

      And there, in a small cul-de-sac beyond the noisy bustle, beat and bleat of traffic, wheeled and afoot, he feels and watches a golden net spread from his solar plexus to join the Sun, and flow outward and onward into the living network of his fellow Centraxians. Fine amber tendrils spread to meet the intermeshed net of the tribe and he instantly knows who’s making contact at this perpetually preordained time. Most of us are here this eve, the young shaman notes with a crooked smile while visions of friends and allies slip though his mind as rapidly as a riffling deck of colourful Tarot cards.

      He sends warmth and love through the web of connexions and feels waves of responsive wills and responding emotions return through the flowering vine of interlinked lives. Awa Ken… All is well… His Lady Racheal’s unmistakeable eyes emerge though the web, a triangular trio of spinning blue orbs that transfix his attention while her words echo through his thoughts; ‘Thine wish is my command.’ He senses she’s not far away, facing the sunset from a nearby stone cliff top – a rarely private site they’re both intimately familiar with in the tightly clustered suburban sprawl – and he begins to turn and face that direction.

      Then the rest of her recent utterances return to plague his contentment and shake the golden webbing from his mind. The grumbling rumble of a propeller driven airliner shakes the world as a sleek silvery craft slides surprisingly close overhead, glittering with gold and orange highlights from a westering Sun which has already slipped behind chimney-topped rooves, silhouette treetops and the all-pervasive ugly net of far flung electric cables.

      His bare feet carry him away without thought or decision and after a couple of blocks he realises he’s already made an appointment at a house in this very direction. Squidly…

      The scent of honeysuckle fills his nostrils when he passes a hedge festooned with slim ripe flowers, yellow and white, dripping with nectar and irresistibly sweet. He gives silent thanks to the tangled vine and tastebuds ignite when he sucks the juices from a quickly swiped handful.

      Twilight transforms the mundane suburban world into a magical and mysterious realm. His destination is so close he still has a few flowers left when he climbs the dozen steps that lead above a ground floor garage. He rings the bell set into a glass panelled door whose panes are so warped and convoluted they effectively conceal the shadowy interior.

      A figure emerges within the gloom. Distorted shapes and swimming colours shift and grow with their approach.

      When the hall light flashes on and the door swings open, Squid’s open-fronted Hawaiian shirt is dazzling, even brighter than his ivory smile. “Ram’yana! You’re early, dude – and really just in time!” His handsome face and sunbrowned surfer’s limbs radiate health, grace and good cheer. “We’re, uh, just hangin’ downstairs.” He turns and leads the way through the passageway to a flight of steps that plunges into a dimly lit sanctum.

      They descend through a low lying layer of sandalwood and hashish-flavoured cirrus cloud. The smoke obscures Squid’s other guests, who lounge in a subterranean den that booms and screams with the psychedelic confections of King Crimson. “We’re just getting into the tequila,” Squid announces, and asks; “Do you want the worm?” A female voice titters and Ram’yana manages to make out a shapely form snuggled into another’s arms on an oversized bean bag. He idly notes that only a quarter of the quart bottle remains.

      “Vegetarian,” he explains with a shake of his head.

      “But at least you can smoke again now that you’re a pre-initiate, can’t you! I saved you some treated hash. It’s the bee’s knees!” He nods toward the pillar of smoke rising from a huge glitzy hubble-bubble. “That stuff’s untreated – you’ve been warned.

      “You know the Doc,” he says as they reach the floor, “and this is, uh…”

      “Princess,” the Doctor supplies in a slurring drawl. “My princess. That’s all y’need to know.” Doc winks through a gleaming grin. The dusky-skinned girl perched in his lap shines huge brown eyes upon the long haired shaman. Her wrists, throat and fingers drip with what appears to be fine gold chains and jewellery set with precious stones.

      “Princess,” Squid says, “It’s my pleasure to introduce Ramayana, the Prince of Centraxis.” A deep brown, slightly bloodshot gaze scans his body, assessing him from green eyes to bare feet, pausing to scrutinise the meaningless squiggles embroidered on his ornate vest before returning to grace his face with a slight frown. “Really?” she asks with giggling eyes. “And where is that?” Her accent is obvious, yet indefinable.

      “Everywhere and nowhere, from what I hear,” says Doc.

      “The central axis of all probable possibilities…” Ram’yana explains while Squid pours him a tumbler and refills three others on a tiled coffee table. “…and I am also known as the Lord’s Deathwatch, the Balancer of Scales…”

      “And the High Priest of Centraxis,” Squidly adds. The girl is an extraordinary beauty, if slightly curvaceous for Ram’s usual taste. Doc’s hand caresses a naked brown thigh exposed by a slit in her long split skirt, embroidered with detailed peacock patterns. Her presence fills the room with something more than simple sexual tension. Her gaze is perfectly riveting. “Excuse me,” she says, “my English is not so good.”

      “Just as well we’re not in England then,” Doc observes with a laugh, and hooks her silk-clad torso with a proprietorial arm. Ram’yana kneels on the padded wooden seat of an ergonomic chair-like contraption and smiles down at the cuddling couple. Their host hands him an oily looking drink and makes a toast; “To freedom,” he proposes, smiling down at the girl. “Remember the salt first!” She raises the back of her hand from the table and licks a pinch of sea salt from her skin – her lips are painted a dusky purple - then lifts her glass and clinks it against three identical tumblers.

      “Freedom,” she agrees with a slightly crooked smile. They all down their shots simultaneously and reach for remnant slices of lemon on a platter in the centre of the table.

      Her hair is so long it brushes the floor when she leans forward. Before the rind has left the girl’s lips Doc pushes her upward, slips from beneath her and helps her climb from the depths of the bean bag. When she reaches her feet she totters into his waiting arms. “I think it’s time we saw my etchings,” he says to the obviously puzzled girl. “Excuse us, guys – we need to go upstairs for a while.”

      “Mmm,” the princess agrees with a widening smile. “We do.”

      “My house is yours,” Squid tells her. She leans into Doc’s embrace, teetering on a narrow pair of high heeled gold-strapped sandals. “My thanks,” she says with a slight bow that almost overbalances her. Ram’yana puzzles at her accent; Not Indian… mayhap Arabic? He rises to his feet and silently returns her bow while their eyes lock together for the briefest electrifying moment.

      “We’ll see you later, buddy.” Squid presses a small brown chunk into Doc’s palm and the long haired technician pockets it as he helps the obviously sozzled girl towards the stairs. When they’re out of earshot Squid fills him in.

      “She really is a princess,” he confides. “From the Middle East. One of those Gulf States Apparently she escaped from her minders and bumped into Doc – the lucky dog – up at the Bondi Lifesaver.” Mention of the rock ’n’ roll venue sends Ram’s mind spinning back to his infancy. The (in)famous little nightclub inhabits a converted house near the heart of the Junction. Outside the building, jutting through holes built around its limbs in a screening brick wall, stands a huge old tree that he knows quite intimately. His grandmother wheeled his pram beneath its shade almost every day until he was a year old, and the fragrance of its huge yellow Magnolia magnificens blossoms still haunts his dreams.

      Random Access Memory is often a blessing, but now serves to occlude the import of Squidly’s words for a moment. Princess?

      “So where’s Racheal – thought she was coming, too. Saved you both some treated hash, bud.” He turns to open a draw and removes a small wooden box. Here – try some of this Temple Ball. It’s treated for Tiphareth, but you can smoke it tonight, no worries.”

      “Thanks!” He puts the golf ball-sized sphere to his nose and inhales. “Mmm! Smells just like the Himalaya! Racheal?” A slightly pained expression flits across his face. “She couldn’t make it…” Uninitiated members of the Dawn of Ra’s circle of magicians are only permitted to smoke alchemically treated hashish, produced by an Initiate like Squidly. Until their initiation they aren’t allowed wild marijuana or untreated hash. Neophytes are prohibited from smoking or taking other mind altering substances for the first year of their tutelage. Partaking of spirits is only allowed during the last few months before initiation as well – and Ram’s formal initiation into The Group is rapidly approaching.

      Squid hands him a small wooden pipe. “I know you don’t smoke tobacco, so I won’t offer you the hubble-bubble.”

      “Toil and trouble.”

      “No trouble for the princess, that’s for sure - she just couldn’t stop! Lucky the Doc has plenty to share, too.” When Ram’yana consecrates the pipe with the essences of his upper chakras using a Tibetan method taught by The Group, Squidly carefully ignites it with a red headed match. Sulphur and phosphorous mingle with Tibetan hashish smuggled via Nepal and India. “Never use gas lighters with a pipe,” the initiate tells him. “Bad enough when you’re smoking a joint, but with pipes and bongs you really suck it down. That stuff’s totally poisonous. Baron von Bic should’ve stuck to biros.”

      The smoke is remarkably smooth and fragrant. Before the resinous vapour has even reached Ram’s lungs, images of snow-capped mountains flit through his mind; visions of landscapes populated with tiny thatched villages and tile-rooved stone structures hunkering beneath overhanging cliffs fill his perceptions. Would this be happening if he hadn’t told me it was Temple Ball?

      Wafts of smoke twist into tendrils, identical to those surrounding the Buddha in a woodcut yantra on the wall of the apartment. They curl around Squid’s beatifically smiling face and warp into purple serpents that writhe around the room, weaving in and out of reality. “Great hash,” Squidly says. He leaves the locus of Ram’s concentration and removes the pipe from the teenage mage’s immobilised fingers. The serpents transform into blue-scaled dragons that turn to face the Centraxian shaman as a veiled form rises from depths beyond and between their toothy smiles. The veil falls away, revealing the faintly smiling bluish features of an oriental goddess who raises her hands into a prayerful position before her shapeshifting face.

      “It’s the genuine article all right. And Alion treated it to Kuan Yin before she passed it back to me,” the initiate tells him from somewhere in the distance. “So it’s a righteously peaceful stone.” Ram’yana falls into the bindu that glows on the brow of the female form of the Buddha. He’s enveloped in warmth and light as his body sloughs from his mind like a discarded snakeskin and sinks into the beanbag.

      The princess’s scent is unmistakeable, a breath of lavender tinted with myrrh that wafts from the leather upholstery. Huge brown eyes fill his mind like the bodhisattva Kuan Yin’s and sounds of revelry begin to penetrate his reverie – gentle cries at first, arising from far away, rapidly growing louder and more impassioned. Squid passes him another pipefull. “The Doc sure doesn’t waste any time. Pity Racheal couldn’t make it. That gal of yours really knows how to party hearty…”

      Pounding sounds and unmistakeable high pitched cries of passion rain down through the floor. Squid leaps to his feet and strides to the high fidelity music system that holds pride of place against one of the gaily painted brick walls. Swirling vines and large limpid leaves surround his head like shifting laurel wreathes. Removing the King Crimson l.p. from the turntable, he carefully slips it into a translucent sleeve before returning the album to its cardboard cover. “Any requests?”

      “Do you have Inna Gadda Davida?”

      “Sure do – it’s kind of like Bolero, in some ways” Squid says with a glance toward the sounds emanating from the ceiling. His hand unerringly flies to the place where the Iron Butterfly album resides on a bookshelf crammed with dozens of others. Soon the unmistakeable, album-long track begins, to the accompaniment of regular moans from upstairs. “Not Led Zeppelin?”

      “Mayhap next,” Ram’yana demurs, “Mars before Saturn.”

      “Speaking of which, isn’t there a Geburah ritual this Tuesday?”

      “Aye – Fifi was going to moderate, but now Jai’s going to.” They discuss details of Ram’s upcoming initiation and the Group’s impending Tiphareth festival, speaking through layers of vaporous clouds and screens of transient visions while sounds of lovemaking puncture and punctuate the music. “Looks like it’ll be in the mountains again this autumn,” Squid confides after a time, while scenes of previous skyclad rites waft through Ram’s mind. “We’re having trouble with the place at the beach – it’s being given to National Parks and they reckon they’ll be tearing the buildings down. So it looks like an equinox at Bathurst. That’s cool, but the beach is better for the babes – a lot warmer, and when it’s warmer they’re always hotter…”

      He strikes another match and tokes deeply while the younger shaman relives eventful experiences at previous magical equinox weekends held at both remote rural locations. “Aye,” he murmurs, “but they like to be warmed up in the snow at Bathurst.”

      “Yeah, but the snow’s bad for my gamelan,” the percussionist points out. “You feel like a jam?” His eyes follow Ram’s to the ceiling when the amatory sounds emanating from above cease as suddenly as they’d begun. “That was quick.”

      Ram’s mind transports him to an experience graven deeply in his soul; an equinox gathering of the Dawn of Ra two equinoxes earlier…




      After months of persuasion he’d managed to convince his Lady Racheal to begin working with The Group again. The recently initiated High Priestess to the tribe of Centraxians had come to see membership in The Group as an unnecessary accessory to her role, but her fascination with magic had swayed her decision. The spring equinox arrived on schedule and the magicians of the Dawn of Ra arranged rendezvous in a forest on the beach, at a beautiful, isolate property owned by the family of one of the younger female Initiates.

      Encumbered by heavy backpacks, a tent and sleeping gear the young hippy lovers hitchhiked down the East Coast to the regular biannual festival. They left a day early and were picked up by a family of curious American sightseers soon after hoofing their way to the highway from the last suburban train stop. The young children in the back of the station wagon were curious enough to keep the lovers occupied with questions for the entire trip, and the made it all the way to the turnoff in a single uneventful lift.

      There’d seemed so much he wanted to say and ask his paramour, but now that they were alone on the road the sight of his Lady Racheal – standing proud and free, her windblown mane pouring around her face like living flame as she gazed toward the mountainous horizon - stilled any remaining questions. Her smile was dazzling and their kiss was long and luxuriant, a glorious spectacle of young love witnessed by a speeding string of passers-by.

      With only a couple of hours of daylight remaining they hefted their bags and began strolling barefoot alongside the sun-heated bitumen road. Their seaward trek led them through a wooded forest of recovering gum trees and primeval burrawongs – squat, incredibly slow growing palm-like plants that had long outlived the dinosaurs. Alert to the dangers inherent in hitchhiking in this part of the country (he’d almost been kidnapped by drunken rednecks and driven off into a remote forest on an earlier trip through the region– see Shaman of Centraxis Part 6) Ram’s shoulders tensed beneath the leather backpack straps as a vehicle pulled up behind them.

      “Going our way?” They stopped and turned when the familiar voice of the Lady Ringell, Fifi L’Amoure sang out over the sound of a rumbling engine. She waved from the passenger seat of an old bulgy British sedan whose steering wheel was loosely gripped by the beaming Princess Stardew.

      To be picked up by fellow Centraxians was an unexpected benison, but as Racheal and Ram’yana glanced into each other’s eyes the event assumed a certain inevitability. Racheal smiled and said, “What kept thee?” and they cleared enough camping gear out of the way to climb into the broad back seat with their oversized packs. “Excellent timing,” Stardew remarked as she slipped the car into gear. “I trust thou art both ready to party!” Fifi reached across to steady the wheel when Stardew released it to ignite a huge spliff. “Treated to Chesed,” she said through the smoke. “Just for today.”

      The hash smelled wonderful but Ram’yana demurred. “Still fasting,” he said with a shake of his head, catching the driver’s eye in the mirror.

      “How steadfast of thee,” said Fifi. “Our fast begins at sunset.”

      “So we’d better tank up as fast as we can!”

      Racheal’s eyes narrowed and her hand squeezed Ram’s fingers on her lap. “Different rules for initiates, then?”

      “Hardly,” Stardew’s prim and proper voice shot back as she passed the joint to Fifi. “We’re simply observing the minimum fast this equinox– twenty-four hours. What, dost thou mean to say our Hierophant and High Priestess are going the full three days? How commendable.”

      “A week, actually.” Racheal beamed. “We’ve taken nothing but water today.”

      “We worked our way down to it; honey and water these last two days, juices before that.” Fifi exhaled a stream out the window. “Then thine eyes must surely be set upon the wedding feast! Mayhap thou shouldst be wed as Pan and Diana come Saturnday– just think, thou couldst be wedded as the Gods!”

      Racheal squeezes Ram’s hand afresh. “We’ve already wed, as thou well knowest, at Bathurst this equinox last.”

      “Aye,” averred Stardew, “and there’s also your Centraxian wedding – but now thou may be wedded again. Why ever not? Surely thou wouldst renew thy troth?”

      “We’ll have to think on it,” Ram’yana replied. When he felt her body tense he interrupted Racheal’s impending response with a fulsome kiss on her ripe pink lips. After they broke their extended clinch Racheal demonstrated another way of changing the subject; she leant forward between her Centraxian sisters and asked, “Will the Magus be there?”

      The Lady Ringell turned to smile directly into her eyes. “So I hear.”

      ““Why? Wouldst wed him instead?” Stardew tittered at Racheal’s frown in the mirror. “I’m sure he’d measure up… from what I’ve heard…”

      “I’ve heard that thou hast more than just heard,” muttered Racheal. The driver ignored the jibe and took the spliff back from Fifi. “It’s going to be the best Tiphareth Festival,” she announced as the twisting road revealed a glimpse of wide blue ocean in a gap between the forested hills. “This is my favourite spot for it, really. Bathurst is just too dry and cold!”

      “ ’Tis so much nicer to be skyclad at the beach,” Fifi agreed. “Particularly this beach.” She fingered the large silver talisman dangling from Racheal’s throat. “So thou hast decided to join the Group after all, milady?”

      Racheal’s response was characteristically noncommittal; “So it would seem.”

      “ ’Tisnot too late to remain in Ram’s neophyte group,” Stardew assured her. “Ye haven’t missed out on too much yet.” Racheal leaned back into Ram’s arms. “We’ve been doing The Work together,” she said.

      “That’s fine for some things, but now ye will be able to do the group circle work, too – it’s absolutely essential,” Fifi told her. “Oh, look! Kangaroos!” Three tall grey marsupials stood beside the road just ahead, tall ears twitching at their approach. “Mayhap they want a lift, too!”

      “The spirits are watching,” Stardew opined. “I suppose thy preparations include a complete fast then?” Her eyes twinkled in the mirror as the ’roos hopped away. “Including a sex fast?”

      “So far, at least,” Racheal assured her, leaning more closely into the embrace of her young shaman. “For the past two days…”

      “And nights,” Ram supplied. Racheal kissed his cheek. “An eternity.”

      When they turned off the road and passed through a mile of widely spaced trees another group of a dozen kangaroos of various sizes and ages kept pace with their vehicle for hundreds of yards. The bulky vehicle trundled across a rough and ready cattlegrid and pulled up on a sandy sward amidst a diverse group of parked vehicles. Two score magi had arrived ahead of them and the festivities were already beginning.

      “Time to make hay while the Sun shines. Let’s meet in one of the circles for sunset,” suggested the Lady Ringell. “We can link up with Lord Kha-Aan and the others from there. It should amplify the melding nicely!”

      The Centraxians emerged to survey the lay of the land and visit their hosts. The hirsute pair – he a bearded muscular engineer, she a lanky sociologist – occupied part of a two room brick bungalow that stood in a small clearing only a stone’s throw from the sea. The rest of the building swarmed with visitors. Every available nook was already occupied by air mattresses and sleeping gear, so Racheal and Ram’yana busied themselves erecting their small tent in a relatively secluded spot with a view of the ocean, sheltered among screening wattle bushes and scrubby trees.

      “A pity we can’t make use of it now,” Racheal remarked with a sly grin as she completed her finishing touches to their boudoir. “Soon,” he said, pulling her close for another kiss. “Only two more sleeps…”

       

      “Then thou hast not yet met the Magus?” Cardinal Fang’s query dripped with sardonic ridicule. Kerri’s pale blue eyes went wide with delight at mention of the renowned adept and both neophytes climbed up onto their elbows to address his question. The quartet of teenaged Centraxians were lounging on beach towels where the soft white sand of the isolated beach met a coarser kind, a deep grey volcanic powder verging on deepest black.

      “Met?” Racheal’ s slightly bloodshot orbs stared at the place where sea meets sky from the place where white met black. “Not personally, but I could see and hear him plain enough. Like thee, we were up partying all night…”

      “Hardly partying.” Fang’s tone was withering. “What use a party during a fast?” Racheal’s reply continued as she steadfastly ignored him; “…playing music and singing…”

      “And discussing Kabbalah with Kimba and Jai…”

      “And playing Squid’s gamelan…”

      “And hearing about the plans for the weekend rituals…”

      Racheal and Ram completed each other’s sentences in a continuous stream while their pink naked bodies drank deeply of midmorning sunlight. “But no, I haven’t had words with him as yet,” Racheal finally admitted. She shaded her eyes to watch Alion and The Mox glide past on a small hand-built catamaran just beyond the small waves of the sheltered bay. “He’s present today, then?”

      “Most definitely,” Kerri replied. “In the flesh,” Fang agreed with a sidewise grin while his girlfriend massaged his back, seated astride his tight white buttocks. “And I’ll be the first to admit he conforms to available reports – in one obvious aspect, at least.” Kerri tittered and swung her long russet hair in a figure eight. “And how,” she giggled. “As for actual ability– from what I’ve witnessed it seems that’s undeniable as well. He knows how to work a circle…”

      “And a crowd,” Racheal said through a narrow smile. Fang groaned and flexed on his beach towel when Kerri assailed a particularly knotty slab of shoulder muscle. “That was a long night,” he moaned, “and with nary a drop to drink!”

      “And naught to smoke… The drumming seemed to go on until dawn,” said Kerri. “I don’t know how late it was when we crashed.” A pair of seagulls alighted beside her and stood watching the quartet of magi with blood red stares. “What’s the schedule today?”

      “Oh, the Magus will doubtless hold court again to rapt acclamation…”

      “Sheathe thy fangs,” Kerri ordered her beau with a stolid thrust between his shoulder blades. His arms flew outward, scaring the gulls into flight. “There’s a sunset rite, and a midnight ritual,” Ram’yana informed them while his fingers idly caressed Racheal’s flank, “But they’re optional; the main events begin on the morrow.”

      “And I hear the Initiates are having a circle tonight as well – an invocation of Venus,” said Racheal with an eye on the clear blue sky, “While She rides high above tonight.”

      Fang chortled into his lank brown hair. “The only time to invoke Venus, after all,” he muttered. “Or any planetary deity for that matter – while they’re prominent in the heavens above the practitioner...”

      “…And fortuitously placed and housed.” Kerri agreed. “Initiates only?”

      “So I understand.” Racheal fingered the silver talisman she’d made months before and only affixed at her throat that morn. “We’ll be left to our own devices.”

      Fang groaned again. “Water, water everywhere…”

      “Only one more day ’til we break our fast,” Ram’yana assured him. His stomach rumbled in reply, immediately followed by an answering gurgle from Racheal’s abdomen. “The Mox said we could borrow his cat this afternoon – anyone care for a sail around the bay?”

      “I didn’t know you could handle a catamaran,” Kerri said with a quizzical frown as Ram’s eyes followed the hypnotic sway of her perfect breasts. “He can’t,” Racheal intervened.

      “I’ve sailed a skiff,” the young shaman told them “The Mox assures me his cat’s even easier.” He smiled into Racheal’s dubious regard. “And thou canst always use me as a life raft, milady.”

      “No thanks,” said Fang. “I have no hankering to swim back from a shipwreck this arvo. Besides, we already have plans and I hardly think ye could rescue all three of us.”

      “A boy buoy?” Kerri laughed and Racheal joined her; “I’d more likely be the one to carry thee home – remember the last time we were out in a boat?”

      “Why?” Kerri asked. “What happened?”




      They’d been navigating a tidal estuary. Now their small white motor boat bobbed in a choppy swell, lending extra impetus to every measured thrust and withdrawal through Racheal’s hidden gripping musculature.

      They’d lived together less than a fortnight and this was their first trip away together – and their first lovemaking session in the great outdoors, under a springtime Sun. Racheal’s moans soared up into a cloud of waterbirds while racing shadows streaked across limber white bodies.

      She hadn’t bothered –hadn’t had time – to remove her bikini. Her lover studiously ignored the strings and scraping scraps of material that entirely failed to conceal her pinkest parts. His own togs were a salty mass scrunched into a corner of the boat. He’d only donned the swimming gear to avoid offending Racheal’s aunt Linda, who’d sent them off with a broad knowing smile and a generous picnic lunch. Racheal had stripped him bare at the earliest opportunity.

      The boat was barely large enough to conceal their bodies. She’d waited until they were out of sight of all habitation before lying back in a couple of inches of seawater and pulling him down atop and inside her. Mouths sealed together, their slim bodies strove for the closest possible union.

      Lusting in a sweaty lather, Racheal had no need of foreplay. Her fingers guided her boyfriend past her bikini briefs and inserted him directly inside her with an impatient shove of hand and hips. His palms slid beneath her bikini and wrapped round her copious breasts, providing the best possible handholds as she started fucking like a bucking bronco, driving him deeply into her belly with the second thrust.

      It was only the eighteenth time they’d made love. Until the previous week she’d waited all her life to admit a boy to her deepest mysteries. Now, as soon as their privacy was assured she couldn’t wait another moment to feel him inside her again. She was a fast learner; in less than a minute they both felt the thrill of an orgasm race upward along her supine spine, felt her virginal nipples harden into pebbles, felt the rush of wet heat cascade through her taut convulsing vagina.

      Pelicans wheeled overhead, glancing down as her heels drummed around the base of his spine, driving him ever deeper. The lovers were so far out in the waterway that she felt no constraint giving vent to her loudest, most startling screams of pleasure when she came in a jerking, bouncing, sucking, arching fugue of achingly ecstatic enjoyment.

      Neither noticed nor cared – at first - when one of their feet jerked awry and kicked an oar overboard. The sound of a splash was far in the background of Ram’s attention.

      The extraordinary sensation of fucking his salt-sprayed paramour while her body gripped him inside and out as she screamed up into the wide open sky was too much for him. He surrendered to bliss with uncommon rapidity and exploded with her, within her, a moment after Racheal’s orgasmic contractions began to seriously milk his blood-engorged shaft. Watching and feeling him lose it made her scream even louder and fuck even harder.

      She screamed until his seed stopped pumping into her womb and he fell atop her heaving breasts, his face buried in the golden net of her hair. Time stood still. After a timeless time the teenage lovers rolled with the wave-rocked boat to lie side by side in a panting heap amid a sloshing pool of lukewarm seawater, kissing and cuddling beneath a blazing motionless Sun. His cock was still hard and jammed fast in her belly, all the way up to his furry balls. Racheal twisted about to climb athwart him and froze in place for a moment when she realised she’d bumped the second oar overboard.

      A succulent sucking sound greeted her rapid rise from his lap. She turned and leapt over the side in a single fluid motion, leaving her tumescent boyfriend high but not dry in the bottom of the rocking boat. As he sat upright Racheal cried, “Look out!” and hurled the oar back into to him. It bounced off the outboard motor, struck him in the shoulder and sent him sprawling against a hard wooden rib.

      By the time he sat up again Racheal was already receding into the distance, caught in a current at odds with the heady breeze that was blowing the boat in a different direction. He scrambled to the outboard and pulled on the starter rope. Nothing happened. Racheal was swimming as hard as she could, but the distance between them continued to increase while he futilely pulled on the rope. The befuddled teen desperately began to fiddle with one of the carburettor screws until he realised he had no idea what he was doing. He knew there was no time to work out why the engine wouldn’t start, so reached for the oars – and could only find one.

      “Ram!” she sputtered while he stood frozen, rocking in the swell with a single oar gripped in both hands. Her voice was barely audible. He looked around for another boat but they were totally alone on the water. He thought about diving in himself and rapidly dismissed the notion.

      “Hey!” They were drifting further apart with every breath and he could hear Racheal’s voice begin to rasp as she rapidly tired. “Oh, Ram!” Her strokes became more frantic, less streamlined, and her expression grew desperate as she struggled just to stay in place.

      Then, even as he opened his mouth to call her name, a triangular fin broke the water not twenty yards behind her…

      “Another few hours until the word about the doof goes out– don’t have any more intelligence yet. See any sniffer dogs?” The Alchemist has rapidly regained a suitably bland masking persona, displaying a lackadaisical aplomb that the equally blasted shaman strives to emulate.

         “No – they might not let them out today. Anyway, they’re probably at one of the roadblocks or sleeping in after getting so stoned yesterday.” They laugh as they saunter through a fragrant press of eager beavers toward the twisted carven woodwork entry to the Nimbin Museum - always under the purview of surveillance cameras that scan streets, pathways and rooves from the lofty summits of skimpy metal monopoles.

      They dodge a trio of apprentice jugglers and weave through a motionless gloom of Goths. “They might have to give them long service leave after this,” the Alchemist agrees. “Wasn’t that cookie girl what’s-her-name?”

      “Who?”

      “You know, that fallen Angel from the other night - we all saw you with her. And on her, on my honour. And under. And…”

      “Nay, I say, t’wasn’t her –and that cookie lady certainly isn’t any ‘fallen woman’ either.”

      “Not Eva, then?”

      “A breath of fresh air nonetheless.”

      “I’ll have a toke on that…”

      The Museum entrance is crammed with rainbow-clad bodies, portly and thin - festive visitors who mill and mull in the shopfront doorway while music and muzak compete on the street. Loquacious dealers and cautious shoppers automatically make a hole for the seemingly local hippies, who find the building’s first chamber is no less crowded. The entrancing entry hall features the full size diorama of a cutaway tie-dyed kombi van, murals of native tribes sunnily disporting with skinny dipping hippies in rainforest glades, the snakes-and-ladders start of a rainbow serpent that trails across the painted wooden floor and an array of historically rustic items and psychedelic posters from the Aquarian heyday and beyond.

      “…and on this!” Conversation is barely possible in the indescribably detailed mural and collage-encrusted interior. The Alchemist opens his palm, revealing a clutch of resinous, viridian, red-haired flower buds. Big buds. He commences mulling up in his hand beside the endless coloured stream of passing tourists. “They pulled in another cookie lady an hour ago – it’s a bad bust. She’s only around eighteen, too. A single mum.”
                                                                                                 
         “They take her into the station?”

         “Yes, about a dozen of them around this one girl, in their new military camo overalls, like she was Lee Harvey Oswald. And they bust by weight, even with cookies.”

         “As leaf or as heads?”

         “They’ll probably bust her for a kilo of high grade – even though it was a kilo of cookies for heaven’s sake! Probably had less than an ounce of leaf in them, not heads…” He lights up a healthy spliff as a mob of laughing Aboriginal teenagers pours past, dazzling teeth flashing from obsidian skin. A beaming, bearded Viking trails in their wake, saunters up to the hippies and says, “Hi.”

         “Good timing.” The Alchemist passes the smoke to the shaman as Vick the Viking ignites one of his own. A silent gang of sternly serious camouflage-uniformed police swaggers past the wide doorway, intently peering straight ahead as they negotiate multitudes of riotous revellers, eager shoppers and gaily dressed day trippers. The riot squad is festooned with truncheons, radios, cuffs, guns and many pockets and manifold pouches bulging with unidentifiable accoutrements.

         “You see that bloke last night?” Vick asks as soon as they’re gone. “Took five of those burly guys to hold him down on the footpath.”

         “Yeah,” Beats exhales plosively as he weaves into place beside Vick. “He was on Ice, raving and yelling and aggro as hell, screaming about his girlfriend or something.” He glances over his shoulder but a woven sombrero slouching over both shoulders obscures his view of the cop-free doorway. “And when they tried to talk to him he got violent with them, so they clobbered him. He fought like a gorilla.”

      “The iceman cometh.” The Alchemist speaketh.

         “Those ice men are the ones to watch out for. That shit is a whole lot worse than smack, even,” asserts Vick.

         “Yeah. Like PCP but a whole lot more common. They’re everywhere. It used to be that the only troublemakers came out of the pub.” Beats nods toward the renamed old Freemason’s Hotel across the packed street, rebadged as a backpacker’s hostel/hotel. “Alcohol used to cause almost all the violence problems, but now this shitty speed’s everywhere and they’re crazy as anything.”

         The shaman passes the joint to Vick, who finally adds his to the circle. “Well, you know what the old hippies always said,” Ram observes rhetorically. “If it’s organic, don’t panic – other than organic poisons, of course - stick to natural non-toxic highs…”

         “Like the Happy High Herbs shop…” Vick exhales. “The hippies were always right.”

         “In their leftish way. And anything that was a white powder or pharmaceutical pill was definitely out in the day– all those uncool industrial poisons and downers shoveled out by the Man. Except for acid, of course.”

         “Of course,” the others all chorus as one. “Like magic mushrooms,” Vick adds, “it comes from a fungus after all.” At that moment an indelibly familiar silhouette passes the Museum entryway, hesitates for a frozen moment in streaming time, and continues down the footpath.

         “Time to go,” Ram announces and abruptly hands Vick’s smoke to Beats, who nods appreciatively. “See you at the parade, if not before!” He literally springs toward the doorway and a rapid stride bears him down the Rainbow Serpentine path that sways like a rope bridge beneath his barefoot tread.

      Knotted currents of surging bodies flow and eddy on the broad cement footpath. The street sings with expectant delight. Cookie, cake and chocolate sellers demurely vend merchandise from cloth-covered baskets as electronica booms from loudspeakers in a subtle sonic backdrop to the happy chaos filling the town. The sleek, elusive woman is nowhere to be seen so the shaman follows his first instinct and enters the fabled Rainbow Café.

      Kitchen scents and sandalwood incense mingle with the smoldering harvest that suffuses the village. A three-piece band plays to the painted barn of a room from a tiny raised square of stage, strumming and drumming beneath a wall spanning rainbow mural that arches across rainforest hills and verdant valleys. A path opens before the tripping shaman and he passes through the partying interior to the shady palm grove behind and beyond the cluttered clustering cloister.

      He pauses for a breath of fresher air on the rear veranda and scans beyond a yard filled with chunky old wooden seats and tables, to a vista of sacred rocks arising from deep green hills – nature imitating art –and a lithe arm gently wraps round his waist.


      “Juice?” Their eyes lock over the fresh-scented glass of orange fluid suspended between them in offering. Unearthly orange irises twinkle and crinkle and sensuous lips pout with effortlessly irresistible ease. He ignores the delicious scent that invisibly effervesces from the freshly squeezed juice and takes nourishment in a long, languorous kiss.

      Today she wears only a simple figure-hugging cotton sarong, so light it’s slightly translucent. Her waist is fey perfection, a glorious narrows his hands explore while decoding her gratifying adoring and satisfyingly relieved expression. Two empty mushroom-shaped stools beckon to a small round table decorated with torn aluminium foil and empty plastic sachets.

      Their eyes meet sidewise as they share a mushroom and alternately suck invigorating spurts of juice through a fluorescent plastic straw. Time extends with each wordless mirrored breath. Music bombards them from three sides; notes and beats and harmonics interweave and clash as two different bands compete with the town’s loudspeaker system, which is all but drowned out by the clamorous, raucous, tidal caucus swelling the festive Mardi Grass party.

      He hardly hears the question; “How old are you?” When he leans even closer to reply the heat of a blazing thigh burns against his; “Somewhere close to two thousand, seven hundred and twenty, but with all the calendric changes – let alone the missing excised reign of Pope Joan, for instance – it’s a fair guess at best. Some would say a few hundred older. Call it three thousand to make it even.”

      She muses on this, sipping the juice while he drinks her in. Obsidian hair flares in sunlight and her delicate umber features are outlined in a moiré of palm shadows. He knows her deeply red-tinted locks are the fey woman’s natural (and uniquely unusual) colour, framing her delicate Asiatic features in an impenetrable darkness subtly tinted with shifting flames. Tibetan clouds drift across her amber skin and bolts of lightning flash in her flaming orange eyes while Ram’s thoughts boom through the Platonic cave of his skull.

      You’re so flattered by her attention… The inner voice seems to come from outside, above, within the space where his mind should reside. Your heart is racing… breathe… focus on HER…

      Slim bare toes trace a trail down his ankle and across the top of his foot. He notes one more that her eyes slope upward at the edges… and that curvaceous mouth is somehow… Welsh…?Once again he ponders her provenance as those ripe magenta lips begin to speak; “I mean in this body.” She prods his chest with a slender forefinger then tickles his armpit. “In this life.” Ram laughs, and his laughter takes wing and flaps up into the wide blue sky to flirt with other rising peals of joy.

      “It’s not the age that gets you, it’s the mileage – to misquote Indiana Jones.” His smile crinkles like mummified parchment. Pleiadian… announces the Voice of Certitude.

      “Oh, you have a few million left in you yet. It’s a good body to keep.” Amber squeezes his bicep. “You have been moving rocks.”

      “And they’ve been moving me.” He accepts the proffered glass and sips slowly. The juice is alive, swimming down his throat like a playful dolphin, instantly revitalising his jaded senses. “And you’re one to talk! I wouldn’t try to estimate how low your mileage.” Mile echoes though his mind; millennia… millions… an age… age… ages… A hand festooned with silver rings extends to their table and waves a huge white cigar towards Amber in a reeking, seething miasma of mingling head and hash fumes. She takes the joint from the next table’s hooded occupant and raises it in offering.

      “Bom Shiva! Bom Shakti!” Her voice is an appealing pealing of bell-like tones; the accent, as ever, hard to place - a chimeric, chameleon admixture. Indefinable… definitely not Japanese, Indian, Thai, Chinese, Tibetan… and yet…. Smoke streams from her nostrils as twin shushuma serpents slowly jet forth to envelop her sarong-cased midriff. Her only jewellery is a single simple golden ring on the middle finger of her right hand. Like the Initiate’s Tiphareth ring in the Dawn of Ra, he suddenly recalls. Gold flashes as the joint descends from brow to heart amidst smoky swirling serpents. Her bare feet rise upon the toadstool and she sits cross-legged to pass the offering. “Have you looked like this for all that time?” Her eyes twinkle and blaze as she placidly sizes him up.

       The effects of the acid are becoming almost overpowering, but he somehow maintains a veneer of aplomb borrowed from the Alchemist. He finishes his own three-seed rite of resonance with the alchemic resin-laced Herb Superb and takes a long slow draw while considering a reply.

      Before he can answer an amplified voice announces, ‘There’s a lost child looking for her mother or father and could they please come to the orifice’, and from a weird multifaceted remove he sees faces turning throughout the town, feels hearts twist and turn as they scan automatically for their own playfully carefree youngsters, sees the upturned face of a tiny girl surrounded by colourful knees while reassuring, words condescend upon her twisty curls – all shining within the burning orbits of Amber’s flaming gaze while a sunbeam dances upon her high, broad, smooth golden brow.

      He takes a deep breath. “It’s basically been this shape for most of that time, with a few changes in colouring and surface texture, society-specific details and acculturated forms– except for the size of the skull. It used to look like the taller of the two Egyptian crowns.” Ram’s hand sweeps upward to bop his winged headpiece, weaving a broad contrail of smoke that circles him in a momentary halo which twists into a fading spiral. “Very useful, but one can never really relax. Too hard to lie down, and those hideous U-shaped neck braces they call ‘pillows’ were shocking – painful to sleep on. Though they stopped you breaking your neck, and the point was you didn’t ever exactly get to sleep anyway...” Amber’s head tilts to one side and Ram passes the incredible shrinking joint to a grateful nearby table. I’m babbling…

      “You definitely look better this way.”

      “Beauty is in the eye…” he trails off.

      “Of the beholder?”

      “No… in the eye,” he winks, “…your eye.” Their smiles precisely coincide. She pulls a tiny metallic camera from an embroidered pouch concealed within a fold of her sarong and captures the light streaming from the eternally transient moment. A segment of time disappears…

       

      “And am I not beholden to you?” Her eyes sidle to his as they pass between a haphazardly parked pair of olden Holdens, gaily painted panels festooned with decorative drying carcasses of Day-glow towels and tie dyed clothes. Strewn about are steaming, dread-topped, seminaked bodies simmering torpidly in tanning sunlight.

      How did we get here? They walk past an unmistakable pair of proprietorial adults who lean down like foraging brolgas, looming over a frightened young girl. They loudly admonish the huddling child with alternately pleading and threatening gestures, giving the weeping girl a tongue lashing in an indefinably foreign tongue. A red balloon soars upward from a distant copse of splayed acacias and a flock of white cattle egrets banks aside to avoid the alien intruder. Endless sunshine beats down upon a miraculous, glorious, meaningful, multiplex, devastatingly disarming world of unexpected glories and unintended consequences.

      Barefoot they stroll, arm in arm down a grassy slope in blinding cascades of scintillating sunlight. The firm slim cylinder of Amber’s thigh slaps against his lean leg with every stride. A breeze tatters his thoughts and batters them away through the ruddy black pennant of her streaming mane.

      “Behold the Dreaming…” his voice intones while a self-willed hand rises to shade all three eyes in a swift salute to the looming towers of Nimbin Rocks. His soul twinges at the words that escape his lips and he strives for a way to undo them. “Women aren’t… weren’t… supposed to see them…”

      “Have you climbed them?” The notes of her words rise and fall on a wavering stave interposed across the glowing landscape - the sheet music of her thoughts writ larger than life as his voice provides the bass line below; “Two, twice; they’re not meant for climbing, except by certain people at special times…” A slithering breeze whistles through his hair and into his ears.

      “Or special people at certain times.”

      One such certain time returns with a rush of clamouring memories and jangled emotions – a timely occasion when discretion failed to be the better part of valour; when the destiny of a great loves of his life was undone by wanton ignorance of Aboriginal lore - and by wily girlish trickery in the face of the implacable geodetic law of Gaia – or Nunggeena, as she was known hereabouts.

      Amber’s twining arm dissolves to smoke that wreathes his waist and he again finds himself standing beside the exposed stone top of one of the sacred mounts, gazing down at his wondrous teenage bride - nakedly inviting and thoroughly irresistible, the blithe little pixie lies sprawled at the edge of a forbidding, forbidden cliff.

      His eyes dawdle on the vision of her fine, nude, china-white young body arrayed atop the sacred Aboriginal men’s site - the melodramatic and archetypal sacrificial virgin spreadeagled upon a veritable stone altar, apparently unaware of fractious blade-like energies poised to saw through her subtler bodies, to sunder being and soul into fractured fragments. Coiling red curls shade emerald eyes from the blazing wide open sky as beringed hands gesture, entreating him to join and join with her above the vast serried crater rings of the ancient caldera. He watches in awed silence while her body squirms invitingly, feels a surging wave of riveting lust as she strives for comfort on the unforgiving stone rampart.


      He squats and entreats his brazen lover to come away from the fractious edge, but she merely swings around to sit on her delicious rump and thrusts her breasts in his direction. “Look!” Her cry is carried off on the streaming wind as she sweeps a slender, serpentine arm through the liquid landscape, encompassing all its concentric horizons. “It’s so beautiful…” Dainty hands slip down her slender belly to outline her outthrust flame-fringed loins. “This is where I want to make love with you - here, now…” Resistance is almost impossible, yet still he fruitlessly beckons her back from the edge. He pats the silk skirt she’s left beside him as etheric energies - sharp and unfeeling as knives - rear up from the rock to join the sky, and rip straight through her vaporous astral body.

      His erstwhile ladylove turns to gaze into his eyes as he repeats the slow, painful walk through a wall of air that impedes his progress with an ocean’s weighty currents. Just like the first time, he’s struggling to progress through adrenalin’s slow motion spell – yet now he simultaneously walks with inscrutable Amber toward the base of those self-same rocks while the words spill from his lips again; “They have a jagged energy, not meant for bodies such as thee or thine to twine in sight of their feyly eldritch wilful majesty…”

      His past paramour turns away to regally survey her far-flung rainbow realm, orange coils streaming in the buffeting updraught. “We don’t have to climb them – or rhyme them - today…” Amber’s voice is a tinkling glissando of musically singing bells that singe the edge of his vibrant memory. The promise of certain invitation rings in her songlike words. A curious frown unsettles the red haired girl’s pixyish features, as if his body is a conduit for Amber’s intent through time and times, apart yet one with petite young Seheal.

      “We have time,” both women say as one.

      “Aplenty,” he agrees, speaking to both. His fingers close around a hard stony object that juts into his hip. He raises his hand to produce a double-ended crystal from his pocket - collected close to this very spot by the diminutive gnome-ridden boys he met that morning. Sharp-edged energies pour from both ends of the double terminator in mimicry of the jagged shards that vent tearing rents through the redheaded teenager’s soul.

      Amber smiles. They both dip heads to examine the glittering crystal and their brows touch and meld into matching vortices. A cluster of miniature suns refracts from dazzling depths and shine through surfaces limned with rainbow etchings. Revealed in their light, an undersea realm of monumental forests reaches upward from an unfolding horizon of rolling hills, where sharp fangs of broken-toothed mountain peaks protrude from a living green carpet.

      Something glitters on one of the peaks and a heart-wrenchingly familiar flame-framed face reaches up into the sky to snatch the double terminator from his open palm. The pixyish girl triumphantly grasps the crystal to her breast and it blazes with dazzling light. Her lithe little body becomes transparent, revealing the myriad inner workings of capillaries, veins, nerves and lymph, all her organs suspended in jelly, shaped and protected by a flexing bone cage bearing blazing emerald eyes. Her form swiftly shifts and congeals into a glowing vessel of sheer, translucent alabaster whiteness. Unforgettable chameleon eyes shine with entreaty and promise as soft carmine lips curl up at him, drawing him toward the edge of a crystalline precipice…

      Amber twists him aside, away from the rocks, and he stares down into a blazing inner sun refracting through her umber depths. “It’s like a scene from Woodstock,” she says as her unsettling orange eyes slip aside toward a nearby tree line. He follows her gaze to the shady depths of the riverbank, where a fuzzy-haired nut brown man helps a pallid girl – glowing white skin clad only in dreadlocks - from a rocky pool.

      For a blinding moment he’s certain he recognises the nymph who crawls from the water and drags herself up onto the far bank. She laughs with glee at the stumbling young man when he squats down beside her and pulls her slender curves round his skeletal frame. Times and spaces overlap and meld, melt and moult as he feels hot wet skin envelop his body and firm warm breasts press cold metal rings into his chest. He feels slippery slim thighs glide astride his naked waist; fingers sliding down his belly into his pubic hair, onto the base of his hardening flesh - feels a steaming furnace of silken membranes opening round his blazing crown…

      …And then, like Krishna, he’s moving inside them all, mating and loving with flaming Amber, with succulent Seheal, with the falling and rising and falling Goth Angel who sits astride him and rides him to glory, with the naked stranger who bestrides her young man beneath the nearby trees, who locks eyes with the suddenly naked Amber creature who mimics her every movement, each rolling and rocking thrust of her hips as they both make love with their astounded males, just out of sight of the painted town.


      Every loving woman holds the semblance of another… each female recalls another twining lover… each woman a bridge to an evercoming other…

      Crystals dance in crystal water and ancient outcrops loom down towards the shady canopy like scolding parents ready to pounce on unruly children. Boulders skulk around the creek, grey-skinned gnomes who guard their glade from human thought and scowl at monkeys who disport on grassy banks where forests fell and foreign creatures came to dwell.

      Sensation seats him more firmly in his body, and in hers, at the entrancing moment of entry. He doesn’t remember removing his clothes, or stripping Amber’s sarong from her smooth narrow midriff. Her touch, her clasp, her every breath burns his cool white skin. Her heat is unfathomable, unquenchable, a molten furnace of unending pleasure as all her lips part for him at once.

      Her nuclear heat burns everything away but the certain, immutable, immemorial luxury of deep, abiding, immortalising humanimal contact. She holds him so tightly her nipples are stony nubbins pressed into his chest by the malleable cushions of her breasts. He caresses her skin as her hips rise and fall, a millimetre deeper with each long lusty thrust. Her fragrant, flagrant, spicy breath flows into his lungs as his tongue explores her palate and laves the backs of her perfect white teeth.

      Brother… Lover… Mate… Father… Husband… Son…

      Sister… Lover… Mate… Mother… Wife… Daughter…

      Fingertips sink into his flesh when his arms enfold her elfin frame. Grassy tendrils twine through toes and tickle flanks as extrusions of the living Earth explore their molten melding flesh. Their bodies and minds are viscid outgrowths of a globular global brain, twinned halves of a clinging polyp on the sea bottom of an atmospheric ocean, rooted to the earth beneath swaying tendrils of seaweed trees that wave and flutter in currents of spirited sprites who stream past their skins and savour their flavours, dancing through a shifting maze of sifting sunbeams and straying thoughts.

      Whither canst thou…

      Where is this place…

      What art thou…

      Art thought…

      Art…

      Crystalline eyes of stony mountains bore down from the range that rears above, drawn to the locus of sensuous pleasures that rise beyond to ecstatic heights.  Spiralling fronds filled with sumptuous patterns of everchanging shapes arise to the skies, tentacular limbs that follow lines of magnetic fields whose core is the heart of the living world. A burning flame erupts through conjoined loins, rushes up spines and shines through eyes of malachite and blazing Amber. The tactile bliss of her inner caress thrums and palpates, encouraging the indomitable pride of his reaming self-willed manhood.

      Her heart beats deep inside his chest as a flaming phoenix, a pounding drum, a pressure rising into his brain and blowing the top of his head asunder. The rim of his skull is the world’s horizon but Amber’s mind soars further still, streaming past the roiling, turbulent wave-riven surface of the global ocean of liquid air, through fiery layers that stream from the waves and far beyond the stretching limbs of the planet’s outflowing fields.

      He sees through her eyes, yet can’t understand what his mind’s eye sees. And the voice that passes through his being isn’t his, or hers, or theirs, or even a voice at all…

      Thus at the cusp of was and when the vessel of all righteous men the cup the feast the drink you sup will raise your inspiration up to heights unseen through all these scenes that light delight within your dreams …

      Two heads arise from a single core, twinned twining serpents wound together, sprung together, twisting tightly round together in woven strands of molten blood and flowing flesh, illumined from below, within, where a pyre burns in burning skin that melts into a single form, an open eye that scans a realm unknown, all lithe and brightly warm.

      …a living wish come true…

      A living womb…

      My home…

      Saving Little Wonder




      Part 1, Rough Cut

      THIS is how you can save the world. A group of feral hippies and environmentalists bands together with members of an indigenous Aboriginal tribe to try and save one of the last fragments of Australian rainforest (filled with rare, endangered and unclassified species of animals) from destruction. 
      This is most of a rough cut documentary detailing their true story, rushed to your screen from the lost archives of Australia's forest wars - because these unique forests are under threat again after the recent elections of rapacious, destructive governments bent on burning the world's heritage in power stations.
      Language (and lifestyle) warning.

      A document by R. Ayana (Part 2 coming sooner)
