tiny figures, since the hat, the coat, are not exactly figures, I'd cut this line
dabs of luminous

straw hat, a young’s man’s red jacket,
flocks of Canada geese
a stir of starlings,
busy with evening
arrangements my favorite bit
sun set
in favored time this seems a weak ending; I'd almost rather see the title here as the last line
starlings are always black

I'd suggest swapping the last line and the title, and also adding more dabs of luminous color. All in all, there's interesting, stark imagery. I also have a soft spot for short poems like this.
I couldn't help but add 'dwells' to slant rhyme with '12'
Thanks, Mark

a stir of starlings, color?

sunset dwells

Starlings always black.
Sorry for mixing up the comments a bit from one poster to the other. Can't seem to navigate these threads when trying to edit them. Do appreciate all the comments.
Nice catch on 'young's'....have edited this.
