The day after
the day leaving
in the early
dark the radio
DJ playing soft
songs to ease
the hangovers
even the broken
rhythm of the
rain is subdued.
I dreamed you
wrote to say
that a tsunami
almost got you
I should really
probably write
you back
and everyone
else it’s just
hard to grasp
that these daily
dull laps might
seem comforting
to someone
who isn’t
so weighted
in place,
so yes
I’m dragging
a bit but
it takes
adjustment
being so long
a sail,
so suddenly
an anchor.
OPTIONAL POETRY 
“They also serve who stand and wait.” ==Milton. And heck, you’re a fresh westerly breeze for some of us readers. What is it about anchors? they are only released when needed? weird. Okay, you’re all of the above.

More comforting than a cup of tea, thank you– is that line about anchors releasing original? It’s a very good point
