Stuart Perkoff / Philomene Long - Death Bed Conversation Broctman's Memorial Hospital June 24, 1974 - Stuart Z. Perkoff & Philomene Long Philomene: (strokes Stuart's forehead, brushing his eyebrows) Stuart: They're worth more after the death. Philomene: What is the pain teaching you? Stuart: To obey. What do you think happens at the dying? Philomene: It looks like light. It feels like love. Stuart: What do you think happens after they dying? Philomene: It is all right, no matter what the condition. Stuart asks Philomene to bring a tape recorder to the hospital saying he "had a poem in him." The following is a transcript of his final hour, just before he would succumb to cancer - June 25, 1974 Stuart: (raising clenched fist) Don't let the Lady own you. I don't like it. I don't like it. Philomene: What's that, honey? Stuart: The Lady. Philomene: You don't like her? Stuart: Her owning me. Philomene: Oh. You don't like her owning you. Stuart: Yeah. I hate it. Philomene: But she.. she wrote poems through you, Stuart. Stuart: Uh huh. Philomene: And that was very beautiful. Stuart: Yeah, oh yeah. Philomene: That is what you lived for. Stuart: Uh yeah. Oh yeah. Philomene: Do you think she owns me too? Stuart: Yeah. Philomene: Same Lady? Stuart: (laughs) Yeah. ....yeah....oh....I feel. I feel horrible again.. .oh.. .oh.. .water.

Philomene: It's going to be all right. Stuart: (sound of breathing) Philomene: It's going to be all right. Want something..OK, here it is. Nurse brings in shot for pain.

I saw The Lady say ..Tell, tell ..Tell ..love. Philomene: Love..Love..it's OK. Stuart: Uh huh. Yeah. (indecipherable) Oh.. it's all right, no matter what the condition. The sound of breathing.
