Tempest Brew- Three Poems

Puritanville

it started as a grand

experiment, follow

the Old Testament law

and put it in place 

in the new land

unfortunately, the citizens

soon found the yoke

too heavy, the laws too

complicated, but by then

the leaders loved it

and the stones

began to be pile up.

Anasamoot

I made up a word

today, anasamoot,

which could be a new

word for anger

or a sex term or the

title of a beautiful

new cocktail, or the 

perfect antidote

if stung by a plumanug.

Model

it's a small earth

and we are small wonders

thin fragment veils

of real people

who strut and pose

and do not strike

real chords

existing only in photograph.
