his silver lines

of poetry

the acer's fiery leaves

...blackened branches

in the distance

she and heron

each in a blue-grey coat

the auld gangrel  -

his haun-me-doon shuin

his bluided heels

the old tramp  -

his hand-me-down shoes

his bloodied heels

tooer cran

hystin anither laid

...stackin cluds

tower crane

hoisting another load

...stacking clouds
