I think you have mentioned Sandro Penna before? When I googled, the book linked below popped up. I browsed through a few of the poems. Here's one that stuck with me.

If my boy appears at a hotel,
the men, amazed, smile at him
from under the neon lights. But the game begins
almost immediately. Uncertain and alone,
the boy is in the grip
of these big hands adorned with rings.


Maybe perverse of me to quote this particular one, since most of his stuff if more uplifting.

hugzu ;-p
