Muses in Languedoc
Giles Denmark

MENHIR

Beaten, bloodied, armour bashed
Proud rock erect
Once danced, daubed, climbed,
Menhir perches hidden in earth embrace
Trees moggy around
Wind beating toss and throw
Man stands under
Gasping for breath

This spirit rock, with a history of local legends, is off the main road between Bize-Minervois and Villespassans, Languedoc, South of France
