COPLA 89 INVOCATION : This Bad Guy World
Just as the virgin’s cossetted
Nursed untouched raised in seclusion :
So’s the toro
Two beings born to be slaughtered
For sado-masochistic fruition :
Virgin toro
Then the day comes for her sacrifice
Even as the toro’s let loose in ring :
Blood’s espada
Banderilleros splice eyes
Faenas rip muletas and sting :
Estocada

COPLA VEINTITRES : This Bad Guy World
For the sake of the argument
Let’s admit Good-Bad thrives in self
Does it matter
Without Yin-Yang predicament:
Conflict bound in the self-same self
Makes life matter
Yet in this Day-Night lantern show
Light and dark flit through like shadows
Who plays the roles
The pain is real when laid low
Good Guys stung by banderilleros
What hurts in souls
