the day a butterie
gaed by
lockdown -
today a butterfly
passed by
college hooses -
tap flair hained

university flats -
top floor reserved

the speengie rose
tirls
petal by petal
the peony rose
undresses
clam mornin -
the wuid souchs oot
a douce braith
damp morning -
the forest exudes
a sweet breath
hameless - doverin
on the ootdoor chess-brod
...pawn
homeless - asleep
on the outdoor chess-board
craws wesh i the burn
maws wesh upstream
...the maggies keckle
crows wash in the stream
gulls wash upstream
...the magpies chortle
rescuin a bummer
she feshes me
a bizzin bicker
rescuing a bee
she brings me
a buzzing beaker
efter lockdoon
this year's speuggies
dinnae ken whit tae mak o's
after lockdown
this year's sparrows
don't know what to make of us
