Sonnet xviii

Catch Lethe’s flow in veins with your awareness.
You are as good as word, don’t mince it loudly.
Arenas burst into "ole" in earnest,
an eye turns urge-to-kill to stone and proudly
burns banderilla pain with kitschy dearness.
You let me out to bleed while wrath is huddling,
awaiting for the cleanup of this smear mess.
My hooves are tied and blood is muddling.
Expected Death spits spiteful entertainment,
the time was right… to meet it at the center.
Adrenaline has rushed to claim its trophy.
It pays for madness. What a huge attainment!
Corrida waits. No time to gray, just enter!
The point’s cold and piercing... in the offing.
