Cote-de-Ivorie vs. Argentina

First there was light.
An animal rhythm broken
The sea swollen and bruised
My thud thud thud
Five and ten and then it was too cool.
The sheen of carnality returned
Cloudy sight because of misses
The animal breathing loudly
24 and the bruise licks itself
Metallic taste left in us
32 and the smell overtakes me
It is the smell that drives them to despair
Bring white cloth soaked in water
81 cracks in the sheen
"You idiots!"
An outsider in the box
3 and the animal is slowing
But the mind is still cloudy
The smell returns with too renewed a strength
