swans
on the burn
cluds
on the stream
clouds
tooter
teuk his braith awa
...wrocht blues
trumpet
took his breath away
...made blues
efter the flude
bowders heeligoleerie
...watter's runes
after the flood
boulders in confusion
...river's runes
granson skairs ma bed
oor airms'n legs taigle
...a dwam o attercaps
grandson shares my bed
our arms and legs tangle
...I dream of spiders
auld sodger -
sin sheen's frae's medals
...blindin us yins
old soldier -
sun shines from his medals
...blinding us
keek o day -
on the brae
bricht bouets o brume
sunrise -
on the hillside
bright lanterns of broom
peerie snail
chairtin'ts
jurney
tiny snail
mapping out
its journey
