The author uses structure to show the sequence of events.
The sentences move chronologically—Enrique greets the dawn, the stars recede, the sky lightens, mist rises, and men begin their deliveries—so the passage lays out the transition from night to morning. That ordered structure helps the reader experience the start of the day and understand the routine, calm progression of events.
