all my mistakes
each click of the pen
the robin moves
traffic jam
a driver fingers the breeze
through the sunroof
summer wind
a sparrow re-rights itself
at the peanut cage
the rain
almost a friend
this funeral
snowing
through the blizzard
particles of me
Prints for the Morning

- Robert Burns: Halloween: The following poem will, by many readers, be well enough understood; but for the sake of those who are unacquainted with the manners and traditions of the country where the scene is cast, notes are added to give some account of the principal charms and spells of that night, so big with prophecy to the peasantry in the west of Scotland. The passion of prying into futurity makes a striking part of the history of human nature in its rude state, in all ages and nations; and it may be some entertainment to a philosophic mind, if any such honour the author with a perusal, to see the remains of it among the more unenlightened in our own.-R.B.
