This strikes me as a Poem Of Readiness, Without mentioning himself, the poet is, in effect, announcing he is ready to perform his poetic task of giving voice to all the things that make up the world. I like the way you show people and things emerging from the night and gathering in an indeterminate place. bunched together because they are a community, and the poet is the voice of that community. THEY FLOCK AROUND US./WE HAVE THEM./THEY HAVE US. That is wonderfully expressed!
