shairly gliskit
frae space:
Yirth's caunles fir the deid



surely seen
from space:
Earth's candles for the dead

amang the sterns
a skimmerin daunce
...fireflees




among the stars
a glittering dance
...fireflies

mallard deuks
bobbin in a reeng
...emerant carket




mallard ducks
bobbing in a circle
...emerald necklace

november tirl
throuch the wab -
a deid flee dirls




november breeze
through the web -
a dead fly quivers

(All Souls' Day)

ablow the rodden tree
the cailleach reddin snaw
...her reid neb




below the rowan tree
the old lady clearing snow
...her red nose

aneath the tree
the bodach dovers
hapt in a wab




beneath the tree
the old man dozes
wrapped in a web

aneath
the persimmon tree
bawdrons' yalla een




beneath
the persimmon tree
cat's yellow eyes

breist clinic  -
blitheness i the een
o a fyow




breast clinic  -
joy in the eyes
of a few

hairst -
unnerwatter leaves
ooplichtin the burn





autumn -
submerged leaves
uplighting the stream
