Two beautiful poems, beautifully paired.

where is the photo of the Dolmen taken?
Glad you liked, Mark. Many thanks.
Monsieur K, the photo was taken somewhere north of Wéris, according to the Wikipedia Commons legend.
dolmens considered burial tombs
however
this definition of what they are/were used for
there are so many of them that I think that they were
more probably weigh-stations along travelers' roads
or markers marking the way.. or territorial boundary markers
in fact
Stone Girl traveled from place to place and bedded-down in many of these ... rest stops
check out Biaggi's Habitations of the Great Goddess
replicating caves to go into a fire at the mouth keeps those
man-eating-animals (that prowl the night) away..

Lovely. I started to add my own but realized these two were perfect as is.
Kokkie-san ...
Many thanks for the insight into possible other dolmen thoughts. Very much appreciated.
