Poet talk!
Ye’d lauch at sic extremity o image,
sic grand excess o adoration. Blushes
rid as the rinnin bluid
in my veins wad skail like smirr
owre the pastures o your far wilderness,
the calm swaws o your kenless deeps…

—Donald Campbell, “Cuttag”
published in A KIST O SKINKLAN THINGS (ASL, 2016)

Donald Campbell Cuttag Boisterous, braw … … yet bland as butter! It’s queer, fell queer hou the ringin divill in your een sits sae weill aside the riven sunlicht in your hair! Days come. Days end. Yet, for ever and aye you are a movement in the universe a laich wind blawin owre the minds o men a blinterin star in adversity’s dark nicht. Poet talk! Ye’d lauch at sic extremity o image, sic grand excess o adoration. Blushes rid as the rinnin bluid in my veins wad skail like smirr owre the pastures o your far wilderness, the calm swaws o your kenless deeps. Kindle me, cuttag. Sain me. Gie me the fire o your eldritch nicht the white ember o your tranquil day, Gar me blaze aside ye in the still waters o your ocean the wild harvests o your flaming fields.

Ay, a smirr can mirk oor sicht.
It aw fosters naitur, but.
Aw things ur but a glisk.
Anely, at times it's easy tae foryet.
