about

Red Fox describes the reclamation and recovery of the non-ordinary soul. Like the Selkie or Swan Maiden, (women stolen out of their element; pelt or feathers hijacked and kept captive by rational minds) when one loses one's coat, the animal body and thus, the essential self is forgotten.

Be a lens. Be a white-feathered bird. Be a Red Fox. Every evening as dusk crawls in, she darts across the path. Follow her until she fades beneath curtains of falling dark and the skirts of trees. Follow the sound like a path. Follow her down into the loam, let her wake you from a poisoned sleep, let her thaw the polar miasma. Make a gift. Ask.

lyrics

i am a red fox
horizontal under wet leaves
i am a red fox
white feathers in my teeth

it was her time
it was her time
waiting …
looking up at the sky

i come from beneath
i come from beneath
to take her home

she forgot 
she forgot
silver fingers 
and a corset 

i bring the mud
and the blood 
from her throat
was an easy way to go

she remembered then
she remembered then
she remembered then
how far she flew

where those white feathers now?

here’s a red coat
here’s a red coat 
here’s a red coat

I am–
I am–

where those white feathers now?

about

Regan Drouin image

Regan Drouin Northampton, Massachusetts

I make songs. I call them Voicings because they are a mixture of things that the word 'song' doesn't quite describe. I make collages. I call them Cartographies because they concern themselves with orientation, elemental qualities and ritual processes.

These works hope to dwell at the crossroads: phenomena, imagination, language, the ineffable. This is a divinatory poetics.
