Turbulence
A wild night tucked-up
riding a storm in my bed.
Late digested cheese and crackers
are crumbs in my head
that now tumble like rocks
in a landslide.
Spumy sprays of dawn
crash upon my toss and turn,
pillows billowing on the floor
a poignant jetsam
stark signs of turbulent times.
The dog needs to go out
to do his thing.
Standing at the decking
swaying wearily I sense a roaring,
a sea-sickness
rolling over bare cold toes.
And me only 400 miles from the sea!
I need a handrail for my mind
or a strong cup of tea -
maybe some dry crackers.
