Their approximate constellation (poetry)

It is 

she says,  

a collection of collections

boxes filled with cardboard:  

matchbooks,  beer coasters, empty packs of cigarettes 

Large ceramic bowls filled with broken glass

shattered christmas lights,  drinking glasses,  vases

"Right now it doesn't look like much" but

maybe someday it will become a mural

                                                         mounted on the side of a vacant bank 

plastic bags filled with toy animals

dogs, cats, horses,  bears, etc 

found on sidewalks and in restaurant booths

There is no  SPCA for these 

she says
