20/100 - A random, ribald song


From a pub door here and there
A random, ribald song
Leaks on the air

[from ‘The lodging’, George Mackay Brown, from 'Selected Poems 1954-1992']

off-topic because I am on holiday (currently Manchester airport)

1/100 - Paint the town red


Folster found a girl
Who put lipstick wounds on his face and throat,
Small and diagonal, like red doves
['Hamnavoe Market' George Mackay Brown, from 'Selected Poems 1954-1992']
