All Things

The music of October
is the wild geese in the night
that bring me to rediscover
abut the city light

how all things are a song
unmeaning but profound
and fundamental to the tongue
we speak here on the ground.

St. Harmonie, let me sing
the music of October
in my loquacious stammering
till all hell freezes over.
