Sunrise A light mist diffuses its rays Rabbits lap at the morning dew Eagles circle overhead Morning Kids walking to school Rabbits flee to the bushes Eagles circle overhead Women in designer sneakers Walk designer dogs Dogs stare intently at the bushes Eagles circle overhead Students in PE uniforms Run here and there Yelling, chasing ***** Eagles circle overhead Riding mower screams near bushes Spraying grass and debris Terrified rabbits flee the mower’s roar Eagles plunge downward Aerie rests upon outfield lightstand Eaglets screech, mouths agape Mother rips warm meat from a tiny carcass Her children will live another day Noon Students sit here and there Eating, laughing, smoking They leave trash in their wake The rats are lucky the eagles have eaten The sky is bright blue overhead Students in PE uniforms Run here and there Yelling, chasing ***** The sky is bright blue overhead Kids walking home Individually and in small groups They ignore the trash They do not see the rats Puffy clouds float by overhead An old Mexican man with a sad demeanor Walks the field He picks up the trash with gloved hands The sun beats down upon his head Boys in cleats occupy the field Mouths full of seeds Moving in choreographed actions The sky is filled with grayish white spheres For awhile Dusk The field’s lights blink on Accompanied by a faint fluorescent hum The eagles are not disturbed The bright bulbs warm their nest The sky is cobalt and pink Groups of uniformed boys run on and off of the field Spectators’ cheers punctuate their actions The eagles sleep peacefully The sky is obscured by bright lights Night A trim Caucasian man moves a heavy switch downward One by one the lights go dim, silent, off The last lights are his truck’s headlights beaming across the infield A crescent moon is visible overhead Deer and coyotes play deadly hide and seek during the night The deer seeking sweet flowers and grass The coyotes seeking the deer The moon and stars glow brightly overhead Sunrise The sun peeks above the horizon Warm hues of yellow and orange Songbirds wake to announce the day Eagles circle overhead
