Silbury Hill
Looming above us, occluding
We walk forward into its shadow
And for a while we are darker, cooler
Welcoming its shade on a hot day
We begin to skirt around
Following its rounded even contours
Till we emerge again minutes later
Beyond the ancient mystery
First the halo’d penumbra
Then the eye-blinding flickering flash
Of unfettered sunlight
The same people, yet changed
