We may have
to take issue with Burl.
*
There is nothing cramped about this monument.
*
And that word implies, does it not, unfit for purpose?
Which Callanish most certainly is not.
*
From a distance the stones resemble figures
gathering to moot,
and even up close that notion is
difficult to shake.
*
And if they gather to converse
then it is with the moon and stars
that they hold congress.
*
Unfortunately, at this time of year,
at this latitude on the globe,
we will be lucky to see any
of those heavenly bodies…
*
And if the white night
fails to scupper us
cloud cover undoubtedly will!
