DUSTIE-FUTE

Whan she glowered back intae thi pit than ma shouders gowped, ilka stab lik thi clash o an aik ilka faa lik the glisk o lichtnin fused i the mirk.

Noo the nicht-hawk flauchters thru brainches,

deeback an leesions hap ma hide,

the parawd intae the untholeable licht.

THE SNOW LEOPARD

What can the leopard tell us of snow?

That it is melting away.

What does the snow say of the leopard?

It has melted away.

DUSTIE-FUTE Now Dustie-Fute is Nemo Trees and beasts ex-beau Hot bod hard-got But a liar the light forgot.
