La Forza

Artist: Eugenio Tomiolo

Nude and plethoric,

Like the day he came into this world,

Standing before the chopping board

Savagely tugs at a joint of prosciutto

With a blunt knife.

He looks at me sideways,

A jealous ravening beast of prey.

He is the lion, and I dessert.

The picture disturbs me

And excites me in equal measure.

I could fuck him right here,

No hesitation,

Knife in hand,

Tense and hairy body against the wall,

Thighs clinging to his back.
