grateful for a brown hand

raindrops on a branch
roll and bump
...newton's cradle

bottle-taps stellt tae thair shuin
Mardi Gras magic -

bottle-tops fixed to their shoes
a bleckie hunkers
fusslin
on the sinny side o the tree
a blackbird sits
whistling
on the sunny side of the tree
i the deid buddhist's
gairden
new buds
in the dead buddhist's
garden
i the auld neibourheid
