Through kef and kite,

and glow

of glimmerlight,

Down through sky

And ancestral hokum yo-yo prattle–

Past Babel,

And the babbling brew fraught,

Caught in his curio dement.

Out to the infinite glacial extremes

Of the universal plane;

beyond France

and the facial fa la

the feculant fastigium

And Marjorie Daw–

Vibrates

The sound of the motion

Of the unborn child:

The cacophonous uproar

Of the leaves of all time,

Rustling in the Autumn breeze.
