I the gairden

her new granbairn

heich as the daffins

in the garden

her new grandchild

tall as the daffodils

 anither yirdin  -

...leaves

cairit  on the wund

another funeral  -

...leaves

carried on the wind

nae mair soordough  -

her arthritic fingers

past kneddin

no more sourdough  -

her arthritic fingers

past kneading

sica fricht  -

maws bang up

frae a freestit perk

such a fright  -

gulls rise up

from a frosted field

 tint

amang the rodden berries  -

Reid Rab

lost

amongst the rowan berries  -

a robin

 the convento bawdrons

smoolin in

wi the late-nicht pilgrimers

the convento cat

sneaking in

with the late-night pilgrims

wundy day  -

the leaves

ur leavin

windy day  -

the leaves

are leaving

the badach staps

tae catch's braifh

amang the fawin leaves

the old man stops

to catch his breath

amongst the falling leaves
