LUCA’S MIND

i

I have seen three films
Three prisms for the psyche
Your eye impeccable
Accessing the emotional subterranean

Your latest work incisive
Exploring tennis as metaphor
Tennis as a relationship
Ambition and drive
Calculation and manipulation

In your eye
Time is a vortex
Time is collapsed
Emotional memories juxtaposed
Manifest in exquisite cinematography

Each of these characters
Rich and deep
Your eye accessing volcanic talent
Molding a new matrix of thespian insight

Each has a dark side
Psychic parts
Out of alignment
Out of integrity

This triad so versatile
Showing us the inner critic
The inner manipulator
The betrayer in the heart of the lover

Zendaya earthly goddess
Queen of the court
Ferocious competitor
Man-taming vixen

Transfixed by visual intensity
I felt the pulse of sex
The pulse of surging libido
Forbidden attraction
Long secret desire

These scintillating bodies
Tempting us all
If only in our imagination
Seducing our psyches
Ensnaring our souls

Exploring the fragility of male bonding
The maelstrom of repression is unleashed
Love that dare not speak its name 
Embodying the vision of Luca’s mind

We see non-duality
The dialectic of love and hate
The seeds of each in the other
An emerging tantric manifestation

This is potent cinema
The drive that will make you
The lies that can break you
Tennis a fulcrum of emotional power

Transcending taboo
Unleashing inner truth
Amplifying the genius of Luca’s mind
