Albert


seems like every year, 'round this time
when the leaves go rollin' in waves down the street
something about that sound
sends me back to Albert Ayler

for all the chatter 'bout "free jazz"
what it has always been about (for me)
is an other-wordly saxophone sound
straight from the church

and beauty

melodies that will live forever

maybe the melancholy of the Fall is too beautiful
maybe Albert knew all about too much beauty
