Rain Over Puntarenas

A series of ramages gives an account of observation while caught in a rainstorm within the bar island community of Puntarenas, Costa Rica. The poem is really about vulnerability, especially in this area. The pirate Chipperton journaled to have arrived at a "Punta de Arena", or “Sandy Point” in 1720, referring to its long, needle-like surface threaded miles out into the Pacific.
