Suburban Sculpture

just a tree on the street –

shows the art of bark

impasto layers   depict

a violent abstraction –

Giacometti branches

give a suffering vibe  &

‘corona sucks’  graffiti

at eye level   & the recent

rain   creates a subtly shaded

fabric    & a performance

artist  (now guiltily? gone)

with a knife  or bare hands 

& histrionic thrusts

has torn out the guts

of the trunk  leaves a

hollowed-out space for the

next craftsman  to work on
