I'm not sure I get it. At first I thought the poem would be about bullfighting, since "blood and sand" often/usually refers to that. There's even a famous novel in Spanish called "Sangre y Arena", about bull fighting. But beyond that, I don't know what a ribboned pocket is, or what kind of "docket" a child would dream about. Perhaps I'm just densely missing something, but I'm a bit lost.
