Grain Hoppers
Humming spins
a note begins
as wings swirl
spiral ways
hither and thither
waxing, waning, rising
soaring high
then plummeting down
to ground level
grazing up stems-
weaving in and out
through leaves
then resting....
as evening cools
and shadows come
like passing cloud
shielding sun.
Humming slows
and ceases
as twilight thickens
after light
and sunset burns low
on broad horizon
flowing west.
Night blinks
at closing day
when shadows test
and sweep away to nil.
Grain fields sleep
through night to chill
then waken by and by
at morning's will.
