Romero’s bullfighting
was ridiculous,
a faked look of purity
as if a beautiful feeling
was attainable in killing.
An emotional pass would
emphasize their closeness
and safe exposure,
him and bull
bull and him
Romero and horns
horns and Romero,
but it was bull
in the absolute killing.
(cut-up: The Sun Also Rises – Earnest Hemingway)
