The Web Poetry Corner - Frank Valentyn - LA FIESTA BRAVA

LA FIESTA BRAVA

by

Frank Valentyn

Bred to the deed
the statistical average is fifteen minutes
although with strangely inverted compassion
those selected for the acts of bravery
are allowed an extra year of life
compared to the consumables

Matador, picador, banderillero, muleta, faena
a whole science of entertainment
with over-lunch terminology
to spice discussions of greatness

I always get this wrong
I seem to remember, but
to me there's such a cosmic elegance
when the bull feints
with his reddened nape
and the matador embeds
a horn deeply
and rips out those arrogant entrails
