Makin.
Black magic boxes of bats
and hames for wee spuggies.
A word for my day.
The timber all cut and ready and bound with blue tape.
But the edges of the wood turn to keek at each other
and will no behave.
As outside the absent school turns its back and runs awa to the Dighty Burn,
smirking.
(notes – a spuggie is Dundonian for a sparrow. Outside, in the vacated green space next to the community centre stood a school.)
ONESY.
26th February 2014.
Tessarae colours in blues and greens spark
smashing, cutting, nipping, filing, glueing, placing,
waymarking the Dighty Burn.
Holidays in Birmingham and seeing that one off Coronation Street in a restaurant.
Opera behind the scenes.
Tea and biscuits and the top six things in life –
Dundee FC, family, singing, pyjamas, the sun and
marshmallows.
A woman seen shopping ina ‘onesy’,
the guise of a cat and a tail an aw.
