An auld heid frae Skara Brae<br />
lookit back<br />
Ye ken we wir puir<br />
but abody lookit aftir<br />
yin anither,<br />
naebody lockit their doors,<br />
wi wir in an oot<br />
o yin anithers hooses<br />
an doon the wee closes<br />
playin knucklebones.<br />
Sax folk tae a box bed<br />
covert in an auld jockie coat<br />
o walrus whiles grannie makkit fish broth.<br />
Fowk wir jist resilient ken<br />
an thare wir they daies<br />
whan the bents wir<br />
kivert wi samphire an aster<br />
in the sool, like tiny starns.<br />
I ween it wis heivin in a wey<br />
if ye foryet the rickets.<br />
No the sam sin<br />
we muived tae thir crannogs.<br />
