This is How I Remember it

A brief, whimsical look back at a trip I took to Stonehenge when I studied abroad in 1999.

Many people wonder
at the marvel that is Stonehenge:
the intricate formation of its boulders,
its oceanside location
and its eerie beauty when the sunset's rays
pass through it at just the right angles.

I imagine, however,
that these are the last images
that are on a person's mind
when they're being bowled over
by forty-five-mile-an-hour winds
and pelted by sideways-falling rain.
