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
