AN VILIENNTHE PEBBLE
Pol Hodgetrans. Pol Hodge (from Cornish)
Yth yw hi poes avel sten,
kepar ha'n oy mar leven,
merkys avel planet Yow
gans y gewer-grogysow.
Rag an loer treth munys ma,
soweth nyns eus loerellva.
Y fydh kellys an men ma
- parabola diwettha -
ow korfenna gans 'plonk' y'n Spey.



An Spey yw heyl tidek kevys war an
arvor est a Alban. 		She is heavy as tin,
like the egg so smooth,
marked as the planet Jupiter
with its weather belts.
For this mini beach moon,
alas there is not an orbit.
Lost will be this stone
- a final parabola -
to finish with a 'plonk' in the Spey.



The Spey is a tidal estuary found on the
East coast of Scotland.
