“Rio Interior”
90out of 100
Inside the city there is a smaller city
where the rain keeps its own address.
I walk its streets when the loud one turns pretty
and learn the map of my quiet distress.
From the judges
An inventive inner-cityscape; the conceit of a city within a city is sustained with grace.
