I Remember the Butcher
The butcher
had hairy forearms
monumental
slabs of meat
and sinew
peppered with
the finest
cinnamon threads.
This I noticed
as one limb
moist and strong
rubbed brusquely
against my
naive breasts
passing the mutton
to a patron
that one humid
Provençal summer
(a challenge from @tatteredthread. My inspiration came from a French tale of erotica I read several summers ago entitled "The Butcher.")
