Boats Against the Current Vox Obscura

anchorage

n. the desire to hold on to time as it passes, like trying to keep your grip on a rock in the middle of a river, feeling the weight of the current against your chest while your elders float on downstream, calling over the roar of the rapids, "Just let go—it's okay—let go."

From anchorage, a port at which ships may anchor. Pronounced "ang-ker-ij."
