matador (Free verse) by ThePariahDog disjointed efforts pull effete sinews apart
inside the coliseum of sexual contest
an ensanguined sheet is waved
relentlessly taunting the stubborn beast
saline soaked hides
give meaning to the matador's intent
without spilling the bull's blood
he sighs with lament
Up the ladder:
Quiet Lakes
Down the ladder:
dying love

too wordy for my tastes.
Feels a tad too "thesorisized".
I think it might need more to bring it back to the human condition (cuz, well - its not really about bulls, is it?)
the imagery includes a definitive female presence. a bull's horns resemble the placement of ovaries and its snout can be compared to something else that's wet and slimy. i don't believe that artists should have to explain their works, so i'll say no more.
No.
