‘Do you know, Peter asked, why swallows
build in the eaves of houses? It is to listen to the stories.’ J.M.Barrie

Niverlan’s
fur the bladded bide,
Trapped
in their youth foraye
Ower
feart tae step intae the licht
In the
Big Fowk’s warld ootbye
Condemned
tae dwall in the hynie back
Far
crocodiles snap an rear
Fit
malagaroozin spyled their weird
In the
mists o yesteryear?
Ower feart tae raxx oot o the cage
Is’t
better the hurt they ken
Than the
fear o somethin waur than coorse
In the
hames o grown up men?
