BATS!

odark thirty -Central Texas morning-Lansing South Austin-
i am walking /meeting subterraneans/as they cycle/jog/waddle/walk
solitary seekers of slimness and thin hips
One such with a red light blinking
(for the SUVs speed fast past our dreamy morning joggers)
she points up in the sky above me-SEE! BATS!(and i do!
Small black flip wing creatures snapping up morning mosquitoes
circling in orbits that D H Lawrence would envy
Very geo-specific to these trees in Lansing
to this pre-dawn time of morning
to the eyes of those pointing -LOOK! UP!
They do not care if we see them
They are busy eating breakfast in the sky(take-away!
We stop for a miracle moment-then resume our separate waddles
By now,those bats have gone to sleep.Enjoy this lullabye!
