GAS IT!
Craving is the engine: a mission to climb with no terminus, pushing for days past the point where the want has an object.
Craving
The Wanting
EXTREME
RARE
HIGH-MID · Temporal
Desire without object. Need with no terminus, which cannot be satisfied because nothing specific is being asked for. Longing has a target. Craving is the same engine running with nothing attached.
The word
From the Old English crafian, to demand as a right; for centuries to crave was a legal act, a formal claim laid before a court. The slide toward appetite came later and kept the grammar of the original. A craving still presents itself as owed.
The feeling
Appetite with the address torn off. The body runs the full sequence of wanting, restlessness, a salivating attention, the lean toward the door, without producing a destination. Candidate objects are picked up and put down; each one is almost it. Time is experienced as an obstacle between now and a satisfaction that has no name, which is why the state cannot end by getting.
Against its neighbours
Longing knows exactly what it misses and aches at the distance; craving runs the same engine with the object missing. Hope waits on a nameable outcome; craving cannot even name one, which is what makes it endless.
In the work
Everything is oriented toward a centre that has been left empty. The arrangement is complete except for the one place it points at.

Calm Ignition
Craving gives the hunger its shape: wanting something to give him flight and bliss, with no object that would end the want.
