Dear

Here's a skin to begin to win on - taut

wi da tug o aathin du nivvir lairnt.


Here's a fraem ta hing a future on - nekkit

ta winds at blaa nae annsirs.


Here's a cushion ta faa, ta faa

ta watch rushin up at de time an agien.


Here' a blast at isna past hit.

Here's a winter warmin up.


Here's da rod tae da empty forest.

Here's da fitprints washd bi da sea.
