HEDONISMS DREAM

Electric green tree geckos stare you down with their googly eyes whilst unashamedly helping themselves to your fruit salad. Everything here is a bit left of centre. Fresh coconut flesh is a welcome amuse bouche in the humidity as you sip your gin and tonic, dreaming back to today’s boat ride with a 200 year old sea turtle at your side...Your linen pockets are stuffed with vanilla pods and spices so that their fragrance oozes onto your skin, mixing with the day’s sunscreen and perspiration.

Hopping back onto your motorbike you fly down the central streets of Hell-Ville. Roadside nightclubs - simple structures comprising dried palm leaves and rust coloured clay floors so innocent in the daylight - beckon your return, with the potential to satisfy all of your guiltiest pleasures. Off you ride instead into the verdant hills where grasses sway gently as you pass by. You find a remote spot with sweeping views over the island, and notebook in hand, feel the urge to commemorate this pursuit of pleasure.

`There’s a hedonist existing in me
in fact not one, quite possibly three
delighting each desire
is what maintains his good fire
without this greedy beast who would I be?`

Inspired by the coastline between Ambaro and Hell-Ville, Nosy Be Island, Madagascar.
