Under The Tuscan Sun

For fun I go to watch the film,
and watching with intent, with others,
I hear laughter, loud and shaking,
I see tears, woeful and shocking

Screen light shifts, and shifting with glare,
wakes me, rocks me, to feel the source
of feeling, seemingly rising from inside
skin, yours truly

Power, expectantly moving, proves finally
calming at the crossword of word, deed
as the deed's acted out, the word's
scripted, skillfully

The two, script and action, become one
in the hands of authors, on the lips of players
who, playing simply, make of simple matter
scripture, holy

The trial of a film--if you dare test the hallowed--
amounts to the capacity of celluloid to serve,
like a monk's cell, as portal to the reality of
the real, really

This film does that for me and more,
as it points out  the truth incarnate,
no matter what business you're in,
it's not just business, it's personal, very
