Dead Old Hearts for Auld Lange Syne

Dead love was the grief that brought her down.
She buried him oft in her heart’s grave
at night ‘neath the Noble fir near her front door.
Dreams had him smiling wide-eyed in the morn. 

Her da followed rudely into her future
seized by fevers and chills she couldn’t shake.
She left him boggin’ near the auld grape
until he popped, a ripening plook.

Her mam, a crabbit hairy auld cow, 
fell down when caught  in a turadh  
eating a tattie on that driech day.
“Awright ya wee bawbags, “ she shrieked, 
landing a jobby through time, memory on all
of them for auld Lange syne, for auld Lange syne.
