Pinned in this column

removed The city

A paper city guide and a folded transit map on a kitchen table beside a set of new keys, a coffee cup, morning light, boxes half unpacked behind

The City Guide That Came First

Neighbourhood chapters, a fold-out transit map, school boards and small print: what the city guide promised the tenant who had not arrived yet.

removed The city

Two different provincial tenancy forms side by side on a desk, one in English one bilingual, a ruler and a pen across them, office light

What a Province Changes

The tribunal's name, the deposit allowed or forbidden, the shape of the lease: what a provincial border changes for the tenant.

removed The city

An apartment room at the end of a tenancy: boxes taped and labeled by the door, an empty shelf, a broom leaning on the wall, end-of-day light

The Two-Week Move

The truck booked one way, the boxes labelled by room, the hinge month of double rent: a note on moving between cities in two weeks.
