DAVID : Sculpture : Michelangelo: Florence : 1501

  “Sweet is my sleep, but more to be mere stone,
so long as ruin and dishonour reign ;
to bear nought, to feel nought, is my great gain ;
then wake me not, speak in an undertone !”
                           Michelangelo, Sculptor in Rome

in your     FULL         beauty you stand
erect vulnerable 
completely exposed            +
naked in confidence 
=  strengthened
                       simplicity            ///
in    MIGHTY    surrender   to
ALL that exists
 
fearlessly   stating :
                 “You may judge
                   I judge you not”

we long to touch your 
exuding unmatrixed
divine warrior proportions 
to turn your head
enter your     ____ irises 
yet already we are One
with your curls and ripples 
our meridians flowing 
         ~    ~>>     with yours through neck
fingers muscular 
                           to god-rope torso 
as we watch for nervous 
           twitches
     there is none

will You allow us to merge
with your exposed mysticism ?
               a lioness masculinity 
               or is your aperture message :

seek your own from
whence I’ve come
to hence  I  ______   j o u r n e y         >>>  •••
