Poesy

Sandy meets Lady Liberty

Rise Behemoth

Trees like fallen soldiers strewn

haphazard mid woods and lawns

alike. Sand, briny, planks: runes

of nature's colossal force, brawn.

A vast- avast! the harbored cry-

Spiral'd sinews of vapor- vaporize!

The huddled helpless. Its mocking eye

Rise behemoth, unmerciful, rise!

Wind: the battering terror, no defense.

Tidal surge: salacious mermaid beached.

One's life regained no recompense.

A safe and further shore unreached.
