  from Places (New York)

the sun descends the sky
shade covers this side of the field
the day’s heat diminished
lush trees full of summer surround
the grass, leaves illuminated
in late afternoon gold


behind the Silvercup sign and Noodle Factory
the train brings the faithful to their breeze
images, buildings, stand out as they can
the field spread out before us now
it is a pattern they and we submit to
the ball floats so high forever
before falling and being caught


a man stands in the field
and knows what his position is
the shadow also has meaning
it is always changing slightly
is encroaching now, the lines
diagonals against horizontals
on grass below the screams


[29.vi.25 /
4.vii.25]
