Edinburgh
A cough that is a sigh that is also a
question.
Gordon Yes spent all of his time
and most of his energy
being Scottish.
In a deep tartan room
soup is served plain
There is a war between the firs and pines
which the rhodedendrons are winning.
Always above, a seagull,
however unwanted.
When by the guests asked if the laird is coming to visit,
the squire says, ‘Oh, ye don’t want that.’
Hawthornden, 2018
