Avast! Off the Mast!

I've got a list of things to do this summer. First thing on that list is to make the list. Boy, I enjoy this :)

Anchorage-

Never seen the sky so deep
Clouds pried her open
Universe fell inside.

Old man sat there spitting,
Spitting into a rusty bucket.

While homes washed away
Wind shattered glass,
World ran for its life.

Old man sat.
Watching.
Spitting.

He saw
Cats floating on broken doors
Dolls bobbing in flooded cars
Children dancing on the high dive.

He saw panic and triumph
The weak and the fallen.

Old man breathed.

"Drop anchor, boys! "
