Whiskey Peat
world of spirits
exposed process burning fire
smoke-toasted earth of grasses, moss,
tree roots, soil
and the dead compacted
for thousands of years
cosmic time lays the gay cooper
bending the staves charring inside,
the butt cask helping with the penetration
of the spirit wood
Just a simple gathering of the Gay & Lesbian Activist Association of New Birch and Sipsboror (GLAABS) and we plunge down a hilarious ride to perdition.
