A tired man lay down his head
in a dusty room so dim,
and for so long his wife did shake
and yell to waken him.
Meanwhile his thoughts, his dreams, did stir
of sandy, red bullfights,
of powder-blasts in the air
and carnival delights.
Yet still his wife was in despair
in a dusty room so dim,
for she knew death was a whore
not far from tempting him.
