Leila's Last Published Piece[entitled: Elysium In The Sky][Introduction by Max Brod]Leila investigated the soul, the in-ward reach ofthe spirit in ways that another person couldn'teven fathom, people rarely seek out the abyss insuch a brave way...so in this last publishedpiece she bravely distilled all the notions ofbeauty her work often personified, though alsospoke of a darkness that would soon claim themall...it included drawings too, which, at once,seem childish, but in hindsight so so tragic, soso gorgeous, and so so strange...262
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'I do not trust the spirit. It escapes like steam'— Slyvia Plath, Collected Poems...the soul hangs as if fruit on a loaded gun, just as oldwomen pass by holding shopping bags full of tinnedgoods, tea bags, medicines that won't prohibit death,but reach into the soul and light a candle...though theriver of happenings just now seem to leak, passing theold lady now walking into the dusky air with timeonly a remit or limitation of thought, where didAuntie go..? Nun like stares at the sex of another,beating like a gun,wound......a man holding a caged macaw passing mumblingabout a fish with the other arm holding that of ascreaming child mentioning something or anotherabout dying without this Ice Cream, the Elysium ofdesire starts so young, though when will the wantstop..? In heavan if I don't want or need anything amI not just a Vegetable, leaves against meaty sweetcorn, or a mango that never ages like those on thosefilm sets..? where beyond the phospherance Isometimes can see Marylin, though mostly I walkalong the night in the mind and saunter...around......nestling along pavements where sounds mimicconnections where the gun is still loaded up againstpassion fruit, though I smell hot soup emanate intonostrils that also smell deceit, lies convoluted intoendearing monologues of desires to reenact somehappening, somewhere, someplace...the wiredconvulsiveness of our ways offset by our own vices to263
