Michelangelo’s David . . .
Hmm!
I call it, reverently,
The Colossus of Florence.
It never tires of standing
Proudly, unshod and unashamed,
Like a discus-throwing naked prince of Greece,
Olympian and sturdy,
A true Adonis,
Showing off his small, gentle, rested penis

do not be afraid
GO ! MY BELOVED
YOU are the CENTRE OF CREATION
so go c r e a t e
see these children in my
EMBRACing Protect ion
I create them for You
I will send them when

“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
