Love in Death Valley

"Love in Death Valley" is a "short poem[that] uses a backdrop of stars flickering and occasionally shooting in the background as lines of text flow up the screen accompanied by images that emphasize some aspects of the text. This is not a romanticized cool night sky with distant stars: its imagery emphasizes the heat of blazing suns. The speaker isn't a Romantic poet gazing longingly at the unreachable: she describes us as 'dangerous' burning as hotly as the stars themselves, but with hellish desire." -- From I Love E-Poetry
