Stane - heeds
| 1 | Roman spun coin adroitly into Coventina’s groin - womb or well generations of fluck and tomb flushes now; your blushes my mother and my sister dog violets live in; an adder |
| 2 | Stone heads sunk into wells other springs; hence into our walls when Ernie we saw drain the "wee bit bog, fund this roonhead, nae neb", stare drawing; the plug at the Raw once one such, as he’d seen |
| 3 | how such an ill found lump was yet built into the dyke never questioned - it was let in, set in, outward it’s tyke grin defied the Methodists, the vicar’s cuss NonConformist itself, yet of the sins of the fathers, like all of us. |
| 4 | Because, trophy and symbol ancestor and spoils of war giving (of their usefulness in life) of their loose brains a mortar whose corpse as incorporated as Coventina; goddess; mother, wife into her well and indurated, under. |
