I see a sky
where two pigeons fly

a homeless man's plate
licked clean

orchestrae o banes




wind through
the refugee camp  -
orchestra of bones

fooneral Mass -
in the bicker
a deid flee




funeral Mass -
in the chalice
a dead fly

blue bonnets
yammer an taisle  -
time tae hing the nest-box




blue tits
chatter an tease  -
time to hang the nest-box

red puffed cheeks

mageecian bairn

opens a fan of ducks
at her feet

voar sinsheen  

the maple's brainches skimmer  -

auld banes wairmin

spring sunshine

the maples branches glitter  -

old bones warming
