jack's
eyes threw
darts at his
he couldn't stand
his target of life
growing smaller by day
the eye of the bull sees red
when wife left she became a blur
the mat at her door denied killed him

I just love this poem. However, I'm afraid readers have a hard time understanding the poem judging by the few views (a 100 or so in 9 months). Who is Jack? Jack is the personification of a bull and former husband. He sees
red, a blur. His target (life) is getting smaller (because his wife left him).
Hence the mat at the door (Matador) denied killing him.
