(thoughts after watching a short piece of an old silent movie version of ‘The Tempest’)

Shakepeare references the bible.

Creation music drips over the stage

raining streaks down the film.

 

The action, an incantation,

releases doves

in reverse Noah

from land to sky.

 

In the distance

the unforgiving sea

swallows it’s prey

like Jonah’s fish.

 

We watch

awaiting death

like voyeurs

at the crucifixion.

 

Will there be

a resurrection

on the next reel ?
