MATADOR – A POEM BY GABRIELA MARIE MILTON

Art: Bullfightย (Spanish:ย Suerte de Varas) is an 1824 oil painting byย Francisco Goyaย 

MATADOR

in Salamancaโ€™s golden square,
Where ancient stones remember pain,
The crimson sun, the dust- my reign

Red is my dress , the crowd ignitesโ€”
A sea of faces, hope and dread.

The bull, a shadow forged in night.

And you, my matador, in shining thread,
The capeโ€”a flick, a whispered prayerโ€”
Red as the roses on the grave.
The dance of deathโ€ฆ

Now I scribble words in lonely Sundays,
Echoes of bull fights in Salamanca โ€ฆ
