Bella Figlia Dell'amore
The soprano
in this opera
has a way
with arias
that denies
her proportions
perhaps Verdi’s
conception of
pulchritude
coincided
with Rubens’
the audience
slurping it all
like pizza
the Prima Donna
in Rigoletto
wriggling into
her corset
then warbling
her enchantment
like a sprinkling
of oregano
over melting
mozzarella
covering all that
dough
underneath
