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.
