more versatile
than sleigh bells, tambourine is
all-weather nuisance

chevron halves meet off
center, a choice, but it looks
unintentional

ashes to ashes 
leave torn to shreds underfoot
will become leaf dust

garbage tableau; shoe,
in step with pallets, waiting
to be carted off

leafy tarpaulin 
looks treacherously solid,
dry (from a distance)

socially distanced 
hoops stand between foliage
changing and falling

two weeks ago, I shoved
hands into apple trees, or
perhaps I... fisted

Kyp wonders at the
mounted TV, never mind
Chromecasting (magic?)

my favorite park
last Dumpscovery Day. hope
to see it again.

stump, safely buried,
has not been transformed into 
a coffee table
