Notes About The Poem

A TRIBUTE the multi talent of Michelangelo

Anatomy In Gestures

with the touch 
             of God
this fountain 
          of mercy
a thing of great beauty 

 portraits in stone
in relief & in 
     round reality
marvels in marbled 
             layered planes
 of dextrous 
        turbulence
expressive ecstasy
    of emotional empathy 
made tactile 

    insights in allegory 
embodied & engineered 
imagination
     into
       monumental 
magnificence
