Summary:
....point to anywhere on the map

W E N S

 

west of east

is north,

where air and water meet

and ice flows

south, melting.

elephants are learning to swim.

 

east of west

 is south,

where fire and earth meet

and wolves, chasing their tails,

must shed their skin.

 

north of south

is west

where air blackens

in dense fog

and earth is stripped

of life.

 

south of north

is east

where oceans turn acidic

and human consciousness

is consumed by extinction.

 

in all directions

the world will move on

never hearing a baby’s cry,

or giggle as it discovers

a floating butterfly.
