Best Be Ware 
by Rie Sheridan Rose 

The marrow bones

rattle

in the wind

tonight–

.

and on the

vast moor,

something howls….

.

They say the

Hunt

will ride

tonight —

.

searching for

souls

to harvest

like grapes.

.

Best be ware

and lock

the bairns

in the cupboards.

.

‘Tis an

evil wind

that carries

the cry of

the horn

.

and

all heads

turn

when the

Hunt

rides by.
