Riot of January, record in the city wrecked by the sea, chanting streets, papilla de samba, gowing rousse moon to let the macumba squat the upper upper beach of Ipanema... Remember! never collapse always dazzle!!! River of strass even flows in favelas... Carioca amore, carioca enchanting... Cachaca in the morning, Hollywood cigarettes, impetuous time, frivolous mind... Expanding! In the heart of cluster suburb, tower of lapis lazzuli surrounded by nipple mountains, feminine fog, selva for salvation... Winter frame of charm under spatula del sol. Before it was dictatorship, now aquamarine dealers, cops lip-reading Playboy in the highway bushes... A dime bank note and millions of cruzeiros on request. Money goes wild amazone... And "dragao chines" shriek of war on the beachdrome, Sunday string mama Sunday, three months here could never be enough. Regrets a Bahia. A flashing kyte haunting Maracana stadium for 70 000 soccer devourors with king surdo. Glamorous sleeze waddling Copacabana edge... Sap beauty... Lagoon of satiety and misery but the game is sealed. Delire goes marchin' in, desire for ever...
Lizzy Mercier Descloux , Rio de Janeiro Sept. 1985.
