John Heck Poet Ekphrasis

Overview

Marble
Raw bronze slab
Imparts Rodin:
Man survives within himself
Thinking and remembering -
Such as, a vast towering dome
Devoid of creation and life
Praying for salvation
Genesis breeds Genesis -
Muted seraphim humbly inspire
Michelangelo’s genius to unconsciously 
Imitate past recall through thought




Inspiration:
Rodin's:The Thinker
Michaelangelo's:The Sistine Chapel
