Matador

She waited for him at midnight
at the end of the alley
a beer can rolls
someone shouts from a truck
she takes out a compact from her purse
the dim light of the streetlamp
struggling to illuminate
the clock hands
she hides money in a sock
her body trembling
rubbing without seeing the cigarette case
that a client carelessly left
she sweats and wishes to be swept away
without further justification
but when she turns that corner
her whole sidewalk lights up...

Matador wherever you go, I go
matador you buy me and I give myself
give me poison please
I want to feel better
I know you're selling me death
but I can't change my fate.

She only felt crushed glass
time blurred for her
they break down the bathroom door
they will postpone her execution
she recognizes this path now
it ends at the hospital
once again always the same
who could detach themselves
exchanging advice for friends
Don't talk to me about willpower
I'm left alone facing danger
with wounds still open
she knows who that shadow is
at the end of the alley
the guard broken and defenseless
she surrendered body and soul to...
