THE THREE HULATS
("The Three Hulats" is the name of a pub near Leeds. A previous post)
One for vengeance, one for blood
Watching, waiting, ever still;
By a pulsing body stood,
Hooded, The Three Hulats.
Two for Death and two for Life
Dancing in between the scales;
Arbiters of Pain and Strife,
Grinning, The Three Hulats.
Three to row our very souls
Over waters, over dreams:
Burning in the heat of coals,
Richer, The Three Hulats.
From cradled in our birthing shawl
To buried in our resting pall
As crows they watch our rise and fall,
Hooded, grinning, richer all,
Then vanished The Three Hulats
