Heaven and Hell

 on Leonora Carrington painting The Saints 

of Hampstead Heath, 1997

The dark and the light.

The sad and the happy.

The night and the day.

The devil and the angel.

The afterlife.

The decision of where this soul should go. 

The plant growing out shows life.

The stillness of the body.

The lifelessness in the body. 

The debate.

The life in the angel.

The death in the devil.

The body like a mummy.

The devil so tall.

The angel so short and powerless.

The decision so exhausting.

The flashback into the person's life.

What happened to this person will determine

where they will go in the afterlife.
