## _The Galloway Hoard, Kirkcudbright Museum_ bi Finola Scott
_Winner o the Hugh MacDiarmid Tassie fur Poesie, Sangschaw 2023_
Aw muscle and glaur, he’s preenin<br />
An muckle boastin. Yi’d think<br />
He wis the first. In he struts<br />
Aw Cock o the walk,<br />
King o Faithers, comb throbbin.<br />
Aye unnerfit, he wants tae feel<br />
Ma flutters, tae cup the load I coorie.<br />
He brags aboot the hero it’ll be.<br />
Weel mibbe, but fir noo it’s jist<br />
A wee will o the wisp, ma treisur.<br />
I shouldnae compleen, sure he broucht<br />
thon gift - a wee baa. Its hollow jinglet<br />
when I joogelt it. I thocht it a toy<br />
fir the bairn. But naw, seems it’s tae ease<br />
an bless the birthin. Whit a man.<br />
