Gazer beside a soccer field
one ordinary October day
lazily in wait for eager players
a monarch joins the absent crowd
colored trees rearrange their leaves
around this wide, green arena
ivy-covered towers stand beyond
where scholarship is exercised
in gentle, contemplative study
among books filled with horrific wars
artfully imagined stories
philosophical exegeses
suddenly a shadow overtakes
a hawk with struggling prey
flies home to eat its dinner.
