Anthony Burge Poems

Dazed and contused

medicated haze.
...

The sky was torn, white light shone through

Backlit horizon lit sea askew
...

Cancel the light

come gorge on the dark
...

I watch the mob as they amble on by

On bent crooked legs glassy dark chocolate eyes
...

A kaleidoscope of shell grit coral sands

Grinds through my grasp as it leaks through my hands
...

Fly my heart above the sea on cusp of broken wave

Salted down and waterlogged on albatross beak staved
...

The tilted crescent of a milk blue moon lolls in a salmon sky

Perched amongst the night shade clouds on weighted axis lies
...

My hearts out of rhythm discord in its beat

Synchronism escapes as I march two left feet
...

My compass is haywire,

reads true false, not true north.
...

Star-shot

Bed coral sands of shell grit white
...
