bings o sawins
alang the watterside
...quait




piles of sawdust
along the riverside
...silence

foggies' kettle  -
the priest
wullnae gie ower croonin



pensioners' picnic  -
the priest
won't stop singing

fou lenten muin  -
efter the nicht
...festin




full lenten moon  -
after tonight
...fasting

neb tae the bowlie
she speers:
whit'r the gowdfush threepin?




nose to the bowl
she asks:
what are the goldfish saying?

i the ceetie's ruinage
a stoundin heart  -
speuggie




in the city's ruins
a beating heart  -
sparrow

feshin-in sinsheen
tae the chaumer  -
bowlie o dafffins




fetching-in sunshine
to the room  -
bowl of daffodils
