THE BULLFIGHT<br />

A A piercing thunder. <strong>The</strong> <strong>The</strong> pissing in in <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong> dusty<br />

yellow dirt. Thunderous, monstrous, black<br />

midnight kicking. Blood fired lungs. Engines<br />

winding down. Clowned follies taunt beauties<br />

arrowed. <strong>The</strong> <strong>The</strong> charge in in again. Red flagged<br />

moons rapture in in pain. Its It's last last try try to to go go dignified.<br />

Like machine guns fired, velvet blacks turn red,<br />

as as Monet lily lily pools well in in <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong> beast's eyes. In In<br />

gr<strong>and</strong>eur of of golds pearls of of white, he he twists with<br />

spear. Some turn away, some sustain, like like flies<br />

on on a a Dalí, Dali, waiting for for <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong> tourniquet to to break<br />

open, like like a a waterfall of of blood for for <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong> gods to to<br />

ba<strong>the</strong>. This legend or or delusion dances delirium,<br />

catching him him in in <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong> chest. Armoured horse<br />

positions like like a a chess piece. Mo<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y'll<br />

never take me me alive. Share my my prayers now for for<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong> moment is is here. My My heart burns as as I I swallow<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong> blood, for for <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong> love I I never had.<br />
