HUGE DOOM!(2024)


A duet crafted from improvisational poem-scores.

Over breakfast, Olivia and Maia often find themselves talking about the end of the world between bites. As the world around them continues——always ending and beginning——they wonder what lies at the heart of their apocalyptic imaginations. What is doom? What does that feeling obscure?

I need a waking ritual.

I ready the boat for horizon’s underbelly.

Open your mouth, grab the sail, eat the morning.

And tomorrow?

My conviction soluble, salt-crusting my ankles.
