No Fly-tipping
A Poem
You only get fined If you get caught, and The Earth went unseen When it dumped a scrap Of glacial lake On a back lane Like a broken fridge. To the dogwalkers It was a puddle. But I fell from run Into walk. Reversed a few steps. Who’s thrown this away? Mirrored sky, Branches on blue. An alpine lake Dumped on the roadside Like fly-tipped wonder.
