Our Waking Breath: A poem-letter from Scotland to Ukraine - by
Spring is here. Dear people of Ukraine,
your courage humbles us. Haud fast. Haud fast.
– And send them homewards, tae think again.
Spring is here. Dear people of Ukraine,
your courage humbles us. Haud fast. Haud fast.
– And send them homewards, tae think again.
Stones, it won’t be sufficient
just to sit on your dowps and say ‘nay’.
Trees, don’t be waving your arms about
in some new breeze every day.
