Episode Twelve: My Name is Vireo
(Deep in a forest. Vireo hunts her Voice.)
VIREO
You’ve gone then? Answer me.
(The rattle of wind.)
all disappear in fog and smoke
Stop.
(The wind obeys her. Vireo covers her mouth, surprised.)
Who said that?
(Singing.)
Stop
My name is Vireo
I have a beetle in my chest
It moves across the dried leaves inside
How will I get my rest?
My name is Vireo
My breath moves across teeth not my own
My breath moves across dry leaves
how will I get my rest?
Stop
THE END
