Lorna, King Lear And Portrush Poem by Leslie Philibert

Lorna, King Lear And Portrush



A seafront full of salt; a lost girl
And a wind that puts space between us.

The rain has stolen my voice
My face numb with a thousand needles.

A big dirty of a tide; a flood wind
Sly as a gull`s dive over black water.

And if I shouted King Lear, drunk and eternal
At the stars full of cold distance

Then that was the back of my eye,
A burnt picture soaked, the real camera.
