climb the slippery slope
...like all youngsters

in and out of the barrel
sparrows
Ukraine -
she maits'r chookies
amang brent-oot tanks
she feeds her chickens
among burnt-out tanks
wund an cluds -
swaws o licht
ower the daffins
wind and clouds -
waves of light
over the daffodils
aw alang the brainch
the sin's licht
birslin the speuggies' feet
all along the branch
the sun's light
warming the sparrows' feet
