lichtnin -
stappin frae a clud
a crofter wi's hey-sned




lightning -
stepping from a cloud
a hill-farmer with his scythe

in the winnock
an attercap's wab
...he hauds up her lung x-ray




in the window
a spider's web
...he holds up her lung x-ray

flicht hindert -
oors tentie o
crans' aerobatics




flight delayed -
hours watching
swifts' aerobatics

aw day
the pyned rairs
as the auld aik dees




all day
the agonized roars
as the old oak dies

murtherer bawdrons
contert -
bleckie awes me a sang




killer cat
thwarted -
blackbird owes me a song

amissin bairn  -
the mither:
fingers daffin wi fingers




missing child  -
the mother:
fingers playing with fingers

furst mappie
o the year
...wrocht o cluds




first rabbit
of the year
...made of clouds

mornin blues  -
in a neuk
attercap thrums a threid




morning blues  -
in a corner
spider strums a thread
