The Painting

half asleep 
half awake
I am looking 
staring

at a an attractive 
young women 
on  a print on my wall 
of a famous painting 

imagining the painter 
Signor Leonardo 
saying  to Ms. Lisa
with a sensuous accent

come on 
Monna 
give me 
a little smile

just a little more
a teeny bit more

aspetta

grazie
