Raymond Carver's "This Morning"

An excerpt from Raymond Carver's poem "This Morning" as read aloud by Alessio Morglia and illustrated and animated by Alessandro Ferraro in this short video.

"What I've trampled on in order to stay alive.
But for a minute or two I did forget
myself and everything else. I know I did.
For when I turned back i didn't know
where I was. Until some birds rose up
from the gnarled trees. And flew
in the direction I needed to be going."
