To yield silk for silk,
millimeter by millimeter,
the petal-like tissue
to the finest needles.

To weave, weave, weave,
weave the bull in pink,
without yielding the very terrain
of the matador.

In the smothness of the silk,
in the cutting edge of a glimpse,
to slide over the sword
the purity of fire.

To retain the fate of the bull,
to feel the vein on the fingertip,
to bring the leather close to the body
without a flip of fear.

With the thinness of the needle,
even if the blood chills,
retain the dark rose
on the petal-like skin.

In the bullfight in the round,
to spill blood and salt,
weaving a rose
of fatal red color.

Millimeter by millimeter,
to yield, yield, yieid,
to yield until the very minute
when feeling that death has come.
