Deid Hawk
Twa worm-bored holes
Chunnerin maggots, pykin a daylicht path in the hunter's een
A secunt sicht, its riven waas, ant brewin
Guffs o rot as great as its lang fa
Bringer o Daith, levelled till obscenity
The hett reek o its bluid
Thudded, a burst sack. A black, sick, shudder
A reid writhin.
Busy heather bristles. Hone honin the hawk
On creepie crawlie legs
Whin whirrin wings
Bane rises ower flesh on the brae's brods
The win whussles spears at deid clachans, sair sheilins
The slaw hill, devourin its prey.
