sort of understood 

but mostly its all made up
me the moon the world

274 What our world values

Being a person
Appearance our face our clothes
Fortifications
Strength fame wealth  hurting others
Not knowing where we come from

273 Kettlebridge

Burn one side ploughed field
The other an artic wind
Man and dog last light

272 Pittencrieff 7am

Following the moon
Around the park lose myself
In light in darkness

271

Park and time vanish
Five hundred geese overhead
Calling to heaven

270 Pittencrief

Pines soften the rain
So your tail stays up your eyes
Darting at squirrels

269

sensuous the boughs
sycamore before night sky
dog stares at horses

268

a single swan pulled
winter over the village
all stilled except wings

267 Munros

climbing into mist
the cloud connoisseur - bagging
simply a detail

266 hugo

a sudden weeping 
means putting the bone aside
gentle tongue licked eyes
fearless paws that climb on legs
tail to wag a loyal flag

265

today a blue sky
sunshine warms gravestones softly
whirling dervish dog

263

poetry brothers
hearts apart drift together
into mist we go

263 us

when i go away
i'll return in mystery
on each new morning

262 schiehallion

deer grouse ptarmigan
hare a man walking in clouds
descends into crowds

261 two horses

you stand as two clouds
a dim glow from a black sea
I drive towards you

260

keeping yourself close
is a life of flames burning
each day to ashes

259

it always returns
to this fabrication done
countless days asleep

258 auntie

as if you wrapped me
in your heart with sparkle eyes
your eskimo boy

257 then

they shout and scream hit
each other break up the house
then say i love you

256 garden boy

i stand in shadows
rain drips off my face i cry
not to be alone

254 shame

clouds of red smoke rise
from their heads burning dragons
my parents punching

253

not like birdsong our
voices going on and on
nor sirens just bleak

252 hedgehog

prison road you walk
beside the wall that keeps you
apart from sweet earth

251

four shape shifting swifts
screeching a square then arrow
overhead - their eyes

250

scattered by our lives
we gather under the sun
to dream beginnings

249

you gave unbelief
i hollowed and hollering
a garden of gaps

248

our raven flies by
cawing in cloudless sky as
we stand in wonder

247

we are clouds outstretched
disappearing into sky
freckled by corvids

246

horse on hill growing
life on sloping ground under
a dozen bright moons

245

heart almost totters
here at the edge of nothing
before forgetting

244

my horse is hidden
by night bidden cold by snow
a winter hillside

243 ghost

nobody at home
nothing here can be finished
fleeting life of breath

242 Hugo

swept in hobbled out
a dog with too many bags
we shared a heartbreak

reflections

eye fulls of water
winter's grey sky glints bright white
swans fall like snow storms
