ristin here
whaur the bodachs yince ristit
...an me youthie an scowthin




resting here
where the old men once rested
...and I young and mocking

meditatin bi the dub
a leaf faws in  -
an ee apens...apens...




meditating by the pond
a leaf falls in  -
an eye/I opens...opens...

mornin hermony  -
a bygaun bummer
a bike's croonin tyres




morning harmony  -
a passing bee
a  bicycle's singing tyres

nursery gairden  -
her yalla gowen sin
in a witch bell lift




nursery garden  -
her marigold sun
in a cornflower sky

hame frae sneddin treen  -
ilka chaumer a hunker in
reekin o fir




home from thinning trees  -
every room I sit in
smelling of pine

on the auld aik
luver's ineetials
...growne tae an ugsome skaith




on the old oak
lover's initials
...grown to an ugly wound

kail-wirm  -
on a kail leaf
its crochet wark




caterpillar  -
on a cabbage leaf
its crochet work
