sun disk is now
a landmark universe
known green site
travel by magic
oldest surrounded world
known to map lunar use
ground will move sky
set astronomical time
moon tower words
with crescent between
discover our cosmos
in the time of bronze
hypothetical maps
a conceptual clock
axe symbols appeal
as between arrives
site depiction interpreted
stuck where pain’s inlaid
patina stones failed
by impact philosophy
these transit travellers
finding having work
chisel star movement
is beautiful and gold
blue diameter full of
temporarily wide night
a great mysterious
time dated device
linking oldest symbols
to surrounding astronomy
the concept of place
history and time
.

Lovely rich yet spare poem, I love the atmosphere of wonder and respect. Beautiful articulation of language.
