Read By Lise Sinclair

(For Tom)

Fauld up da feddoms an stow dem awaa
Turn da tide nu til a flaow
Lat da wind clear his ert an da sails fill
My ain hert, du’ll fin
Dy ain coors heem
Hentin da horizon on a white ship’s keel

We’ll screev anidder line o da teil
On dis duy’s page – clean aes sail
Blyde, da blue sky liftin

Fer isna fer
Time shifts aa an nauthin
Laeves wis dew an staurs makkin new
Constellations ida riggin
