Michelangelo’s Loss

Chiselled, classical features
Inexorably kind, green eyes
Calm, steadying presence
Wise in the ways of the world
Unflustered by the ordinary
Unruffled by the extraordinary
Composed, self-possessed
Not an ounce of tension
In his cool marble body
Someone I adore, loves him...
So where’s a decent sculptor,
When you need one?
