-
The Stones are Exploding
(for Laura Barnard)
The stones are exploding their confines
Effervescing into plumes of coloured
Vapour and sacred fire, lighting
The air with fairground finery:
Big Dipper, Waltzer and Ferris Wheel,
Henry Moore on hallucinogens,
They burst out of their land-locked
Identities for one night only
Taking with them our hopes and doubts
The freight of human responsibility
Dispersed in a great outpouring of energy
The last of the great pagan redemptions
As we, humbled in our pettiness, absorb
The healing colour and light, marvel at
The Earth’s fire-works and imagine
Ourselves, for once, wholly free of care.
