Rare Day in Edinburgh
Late May sun in a long town
Teases out the orange in grey stone
Bringing tenement tall walls to render
Rock-slow a rosy smile
Evening of stiff breeze tardy spring
Lee in the hard dips between slopes
Urban birdsong’s greening pent-up frenzy
Dares narrow-road flights
Among awaking chimneys pots tiles
Down on pavement slabs burnish bask
A hill-scarp city inhales its warm draught
And beams a gorse-fringe tale
