To the Violin (3)


Note:  This is the third in a series of six sequential poems by Jack Callan of Norfolk, written upon viewing a television feature highlighting a Spanish woman's dream of becoming a matador, and who has become successful in the Spanish bullring.  Over the next five days, the remaining poems will appear in sequence.

I have strong arms
and fold
     a dainty shirt.
The bull
     has been provoked,
hopefully,
     to kill me.
Maybe I
     will be buried
in this open land,
     maybe not.

a candle
   can be lit
          anywhere.
