Ere She Saw Wellington

ERE SHE SAW WELLINGTON



She thought it impossible

to have snowcapped mountains

near a big city

by the blue sea



ere she saw Wellington

divided were her ecstasties







BEETLE BORED BAMBOO



When she traveled to India

she described

woods of bamboo 60 ft.

high in which beetles

had bored holes at

varying heights..

making a forest

of flutes through

which windwands

the wind made

the sweetest

symphony





FLIES



Flies are

stuck in fly paper

smashed

drowned in satanic devices

poisoned



God straighten us

all up to fly right

that we may affirm

.. every fly's rights

Author's Notes/Comments: 

to all those who love
Helen Petrovna Blavatsky

The maligned woman's
pen irritated alike
British colonials and
fundamentalist Hindus
and Christian missionaries
.. she was escorted out
of India in the last century..
her 300 lb. body had
to be lifted onto the boat
via crane
