I

					The Song of  João Moura



					The bullfighter shouted in the center of the arena 

					and the horse danced in the depth of fear.





					II



					Picasso wanted to paint an arena, 

					full-sized, accurate,





					with miuras with needle-sharp horns, carved 

					under the sleek black mountains.





					On the canvas of the painter bad omens show: 

					in Guernica, did he paint the victory of the bull?





					Consider that the arenas are human roses 

					ready to burst with the rage of the blood.





					If Picasso's dream were not so absurd, 

					Manolete, for sure, in his gala outfit





					remembering Linares, would give himself to the bull: 

					would he repeat, once again, the faena of the rose?





					III



					Why do we trust the bull with the evidence of the wait, 

					on this chancy dove, innocent yet a beast?





					IV



					At the very moment when the body is dressed in gala 

					the heat of the shroud increases its nakednes.





					V

					Tragedy of "YIYO"



					The mortal spike ripping the flesh

					of the bullfighter makes sprout a brutal beauty.





					VI

					Will I see the day when the bull will find its luck

					in the prime of the fake womb of the reckless veronica?
