Stonehenge



Oh grey sisters
You hold up the sky on
Granite shoulders
While we seek to
Hold trouble out with roofs
That hide the stars
And banish sky and moon
To a life behind pressed glass.
The wildness has leaked out of us.
We have become barren, petrified
While your living rock stands sentry
Weeping in the rain
On Salisbury Plain.
