en madrid its 4:25 ante meridian.

What a beautiful fight
More bloodied and bruised than ever
I look up at you
You swing for the fences
More red wine please
You walk up slow and kneel next to me
You don't understand my smile
"Don't worry darling, you're bulletproof" you say
I don't understand you
You press the cold barrel into my chest
Where you assume a heart should be
I don't hear it
I barely feel it
The explosion illuminates it all
My eyes fall shut
