Stonehenge

by

Durlabh Singh

Circle of twenty-five trilithons

Two upright crossed by lintels

An inner horse shoe

Formation for lower sedge

Waiting for centuries of sunrise

To arrive at the invited ledge.



Ritual or sacrifices

Worships of events

In the gilded strobes

Into the starlit nights

Of the deeper probes

Places of inner sanctuary

Spaces of summer solstices

Vistas of glassy green crops

Along winter's hoary solaces.



Implants of astronomical vesture

Calendars constructed for seasons

An advent into the lower skies

For some airs of grander gesture.



A grey beauty cut

In the greyer dawn

Stoned masonry rendered

Into some works of art

Wrought by the carvers

Into some sylvan start.
