pop like popcorn for carnaval!

the boom boom bass of the samba rattles the street with mini earthquakes...
people shake. shake. shake.

their booties.
their titties.
their popcorn souls.

and then.
they shake some more.

pop!
pop!
pop!

balloons the size of planets sail between the buildings,
beating to their own heartbeat.
glowing like comets...
celestial cinema.

confetti, newspaper, and silly string waterfalls...
splash the parade like a giant decadent cupcake.

and in the middle of the street...

a little ecstatic 'scarlett-siu-jie popcorn',
shakin´ and poppin' it like she means it,
stares up at the drizzling speckled sky...
blows a kiss of birthday bliss...
to her "old peach" bff...


(... AND, thank you everyone for sending me their birthday looooove & wishes too... i am doing my best to spread it all over salvador!)

***beijos muito grande from carnaval! POP. POP. POP!
