House. Lamp on table, dark room.
[LEO face in hands moaning. Phone rings. LEO stands.]
LEO: More and more dust poured out of my eye
standing
at the bottom
[lifts candle]
of my head with my hand out-reached toward the phone.
As the world turns.
I forget what has happened.
[EMMA enters peripherary]
VOICE: In summer it gets old outside. In the spring it gets warmer.
EMMA: Leo, Leo Where are you.
LEO: Because I elevate this candle, like a martyr enwrapped in plasmas emitting from mind-holes and holes of it's 100-year corpse; I scrape my tongue clean.
[rakes tongue with fingers; others rake tongue clean with fingers pause]
How did you get in here, Emma. I was just doing the accounts.
EMMA: The door was open Leo.
LEO: You are the substance of my dreams
Heinrich called on the phone again Emma
[pause]
Asking Leo to come to the phone into whose ear, stuffed with worms and shrapnel, is driveled about such actions and by actions I mean choices to commit certain things you did in the past.
EMMA: Leo, we must get out of this room,
we must go somewhere else.
Let's get in the car.
Racing down a Highway.
Racing down a Highway to the beach
her blond hair is scraped by a wind.
LEO: Frank hasn't fixed the car yet Emma.
EMMA: We must get out of this room,
we must go somewhere else.
[pause]
Ach Leo. It is not raining again.

Thoughts and opinions on Madam Bovary. 2.
Arriving as if on a wind
As if like an arrow out of my head
FRANK: Arriving as if on the wind
or like sand out-flung, into the ocean.
DAWN OF A NEW DAY
IN THE FRENCH COUNTRY-SIDE.
LAND WHERE MY FATHER DIED
WHERE MY FATHER
LAND WHERE MY FATHER DIED
LAND WHERE MY FATHER DIED
TO THEE I SING
EMMA: This is my Berthe.
[EMMA and BERTHE hold hands, BERTHE holds fetus jar-in hand.]
Beach-environment becoming farm-scape.
LINDA: Whosoever has no house
has no mind
Whosoever has no mind
she will depart
on the autumn wind
travels on the autumn wind
with no hope without limns,
her perfect heart
There is no wind,
she will depart
she will depart
LEO: God watches over us, Emma.
EMMA: Do you think so. Ach. Leo.
[raise hand to head]
FRANK [crawling]: You're so good women, Mrs. Bovary.
EMMA: Removing soft glove.
After raise such hand to her head.
FRANK: And she whirled around the room, as if hesitating and reeling.
ALL: THAT'S EVIDENT.
THAT'S EVIDENT.
MADAME has Brain-sick
worm in her head.
EMMA: Yes, dear Berthe, all the good-light went into Mummy's brain. Be good girl for Mommy. Mommy has depart now.
OLD MADAME BOVARY: WHAT a din of worms, and lethargy, in my old ear.
Yes.
IF I am possessed of visions.
MY hand, my hand where has it gone.
[EMMA is eating handfuls of arsenic from sealed jar Frank has furnished her with]
OTHERS SINGING:
Mindless and Mindless and Mindless and Mindless and Mindless.
As if like an arrow out of my head
FRANK: Arriving as if on the wind
or like sand out-flung, into the ocean.

Thoughts and opinions on Madam Bovary
Arriving as if on a wind
or like sand out-flung, into the warm-murmuring ocean.
[village bells:
Whosoever has no house
no home; no home ever.]
LEO: God watches over us, Emma.
EMMA: Do you think so. Wait. Leo.
[raise hand to head]
FRANK [crawling]: Emma, we love you, you're a good woman.
EMMA: Raising her hand to her head.
VOICE: YOU GOOD WOMAN
FRANK: She whirl around the room, I see her heart-strings, pulling all the sun-light into her brain. WHAT a din of worms, and lethargy, in my old ear.
Yes.
IF I am possessed of visions.
MY hand, my hand where has it gone.
