Posted: 19 April 2004 Word Count: 64 Summary: This is about where they used to publicly hang people on the Island of Coll where I used to live. The island is in the Inner Hebrides. |

Hangman's Hill the dead man's hill
a mound with many a mood
where the hanging noose upon the neck
for lucky few did break
but most in truth did strangulate
a slow and painful death
with open bowels and urine flow
before that final gape
hushed is Hangman's Hill today
for dead men make no sound
bodies long since decomposed
their spirits all around.
