  7. The tulip poplars have begun dropping yellow leaves in August. Not autumn — thirst. The ground went dry and the tree made a decision about it, ahead of schedule, the way anything does when the season asks too much.

    Kudzu in bloom on every roadside, smelling absurdly of grape soda. Cicada shells still gripping the pine bark where the bodies climbed out.

  9. The blackberries went red to black along the fencerow this week. Goldenrod is thinking about it.
    This is the long unglamorous stretch the old calendars barely name — past the solstice, before the harvest. Nothing beginning, nothing ripened. The whole world simply holding.

  10. mar a rachadh sinn, clann na dùthcha,
    mach as a bhaile-mhór, air feasgar àrd

    from THE HUNTERIAN POEMS, ed. Alan Riach (Freight, 2015)

  11. Tha a’ chlosach air ragachadh
    mar gun robh e a’ snàmh,
    spliadh is ceann air an togail,
    sùil is bian
    a’ deàrrsadh mar umha…

    —Meg Bateman, “Dòbhran Marbh”

  13. Happy Glasgow Fair Monday!

    “…on one occasion the Highland Queen was berthed by the master and a boy, the rest of the crew being quite incapable…”

  20. Love how I get halfway through what I think is a post in #Irish #gaelige , thinking “this is strange spelling! Why is the fada going the wrong way?” Only to realise that I’m reading #Scots #Gàidhlig
    Also great to see so many Scots language toots here- not sure that I came across many in The other Place
