Brazil

By Belle

Desert.
65 days in blistering winter.
Unaware.
Ailing and bedridden we crawl.
Lust.
Lacking in what we need as lovers.
Suffer.
Craving is the cause of our complacency.
Error.
Let us not be faulty in abscence.
Heart.
Disparing in discouragement I fall.
Beloved.
Adulation was the strongest to start.
Vulnerable.
Weakness is a sign of warning.
Leaving.
Beat it into unearthly wanderings.
Destruction.
Chalk it up to irreconcilabe differences.
Abandoned.
For the city of paradise awaits.
Abandoned.
For the city of paradise awaits.
Abandonment.
The city of paradise awaits you.

the structure reminds me of a spine - and similarly it conducts energy to a skilled climax - very well done
