Over the heel stone

...burn away the woes of winter
extinguish withered wintry wreaths
in summer flames.

Light bonfires on the hills
for all to see.

As the sun rises over
the henge's heel stone,
make garlands of vervain and yarrow, fern and ragwort.

Sing the old names loud and clear.

Join hands to spiral through the streets in celebration
of the sun,
its power and its light...
