pumpkin foondert

anely the caunle left

...tae licht anither

pumpkin slumped

only the candle left

...to light another

 aneath hairst treen

plainstanes buskit

in gowd leaf

beneath autumnal trees

pavements adorned

in gold leaf

 weet bates  -

leaves flettent atween pages

o yestreen an the day

rain beats  -

leaves flattened between pages

of yesterday and today

 broozilt gowan  -

petals ligg

...exclamation merks 

crushed daisy  -

petals lie

...exclamation marks 

 licht throuch

the hairst treen

...apenin her keel boax

light through

the autumnal trees

...opening her crayon box

yestreen a corp

the day swans' bonnieness

...the burn's calm souch

yesterday a corpse

today swans' elegance

...the stream's equanimity 

droont eemigrant

his wan fissog turnt

tae the muin o hame

drowned immigrant

his pale face turned 

to the moon of home
