Dialogue/Voice Over:
I awoke this morning,
not to the morning light.
but to
the hunger.
for everything.
Nothing.
Hunger.
The compass.
The map.
Nearby.
Nowhere.
The world’s been set awhirling
upside down.
inside out
hurricanes
monsoons
flloods
the earth shifts with unimaginable force
ruptures
fissures
what storm brings about these malevolent omens?
The need transformed
unreachable
unattainable
the longing.
