twa windae-waashers  -

ah suddently mynd

a cataract appintment

two window-cleaners  -

i suddenly remember

a cataract appointment

frae the yirthquak's 

derk bore  -  a peerie bairn

...caum it its hamecomin

from the earthquake's

dark hole  -  a tiny child

...calm at its second birth

hern

humphed

amang the snawdraps

heron

hunched

among the snowdrops

swan preenin  -

a bygaun jogger

...her pink pleats

swan preening  -

a passing jogger

...her pink pigtails

 swans

doverin on the snaw:

swans

asleep on the snow:

wunter mornin  -

throuch a lace hinger

 jeelt brainches

winter morning  -

through a lace curtain

 frozen branches

new neebours  -

thair bawdrons veesits

weirin a reid boo-tie

new neighbours  -

their cat visits

wearing a red bow-tie

hogmanay rackets

brustin bricht fir saiconts

...the leal muin

new year fireworks

bursting bright for seconds

...the constant moon

alang the plainstanes  -

Yule treen untinselled

staun neist tae the buckets

along the pavement  -

Christmas trees untinselled

stand next to the dustbins
