CAERLAVEROCKCASTLE
Caerlaverock, driftin
deed in the waater,
broken waas gapin
like battle scars.
Pride an pain
etched in red stane.
Carcass o a castle,
history, hingin...
                ...fae its banes.

New Licht

Thir’s flicker o licht,
spredin across yon ferns
that hae sproutit owernicht,
or sae it seems tae me.
Maybe a’ve lernt tae luik,
noo a’ve had the time,
tae gether-in this wirld
an speir the sichts o simmer.
