relics of the pagan past: a book that never existed

a book that never existed: no. 2

pages from the ninth edition of the encyclopedia britannica ca. 1880 give forth mysteries, mysticism & answers.

gorilla wake at brookline zoo


gorilla wake at brookline zoo



the head lady gorilla
babs, matriarch
of the zoo tribe
was euthanised
with incurable kidneys.

keepers laid her out.
mother, daughters, sons and cousins,
caressed farewell.

the silverback, alone,
did not attend.
