With slightest blow from halting hand, the marble dusts and smokes his eyes.
His hammer grip is silica white and irritant tears his sight denies;
yet down again, the softest tap, a chip releases life within.
From out of stone the flesh exudes; a new creation can begin.
What form is this? His inner eye, unblinkered by the dense, dead rock,
describes within him ecstasy as vision clears and doors unlock.
Unlock , by certainty of touch, a duet sung by lovers near
enough to kiss; though moving not, the frozen frame’s intent is clear;
the hand that cups, the neck that curves, the fingers not yet sure defined,
the lips still bridged by thinnest seam…Rodin kisses all mankind.
