Boy Beneath the Stone

Carved in Carrara marble,

cast with a sullen stare,

wide eyed grand cathedral in despair.

Seventeen feet above me, but no more than a child,

Poised to fight Goliath with a slingshot in his hand

Michelangelo,

did you fall in love with him?

His beauty's all we've known.

David's just a name that you gave to him,

 

Michelangelo,

David's just a name that you gave to him

Tell me now, who's the boy beneath the stone?

Tell me was he your lover, brother or just some ragabone?

Tell me now, who's that boy beneath the stone?

Tell me was he your lover, brother or just some Romeo

Tell me now, who's that boy beneath the stone?
