61/100 She went to the hangman laughing like a lover

Oh yes, but she cried when she saw the post and the rope!.

She stopped then.  She went to the hangman laughing like a lover.

[from Gallowsha (A witch fire), George Mackay Brown, ‘Travellers’]

60/100 And you a dead man

And you a dead man

And no thirst or quenching in you at all -

a clay pitcher fallen on stone?

[from ‘Tryst in Egilsay: The two tinkers, George Mackay Brown, from 'Selected Poems 1954-1992']
