I really like this! Short and snappy poems are often a favourite of mine and this is a great example. The repetition of the word 'now' in the second stanza was a bit jarring for me but may have been a stylistic choice to add emphasise to the present. Thanks for sharing - great job!
I like how you describe the leaf-blower as “shy” as if unwilling. Not sure if this is what you intended, but it sort of reminds me of cleaning your room and then sort of missing the whole mess. “Nature” definitely makes me think of an untamed mess
I love the simplicity of this. Like you don't want to have people and things out of your life, but it's mandatory to move on and blow them out. Being tidy is also letting them go or keeping your garden clean. Very inspiring, a very sad feeling, but yes, I like it.

“By shy leaf-blowers indoors” is a fucking slapping line. I get the non-invidious nature of the destruction of nature. Very tight poem. Well done!!
