I have always envied Michelangelo.


Not that I have met him
but in my mind's eye,
I see David

standing

in all his glory.


His pectorals and abdominals

intact

and Mother Mary
cradling her son
frozen in time

an ice princess.


No one ever noticing

the woman

and the crows feet
that hide beside her eyes.
