oot frae the fulyerie

peerie roses

...a hurlin crood o nebs

out from the foliage

tiny roses

...a surging crowd of faces

buddleia steeps

the hale gairden

wi a presence 

buddleia infuses

the whole garden

with a presence  

thrang bummer...

frae shoogly claver

tae shoogly claver

busy bee...

from teetering clover

to teetering clover

 unner the hinniesickle

 he  meditates - bummers

souchin; OM

under the honeysuckle

he meditates  -  bees

humming: OM

the auld gairdner

fouin's watter butt

tears o Gaza on's mynd

the old gardener

filling his water butt

tears of Gaza on his mind

ootside shunkie  -

mochs roond

granny's fite heid 

outside  toilet  -

moths round

grandmother's white head

anither heatwave  -

e'en the bummers

are hidin

another heatwave  -

even the bees

are hiding

abuin the crematorium

reek tremmles,  

syne dwines intae the licht

above the crematorium

smoke trembles,

then fades into the light
