Reclaim

Photo of a large tree’s branches ground around a lamp post, pushing into it.

Timber v. metal:
ancient trees reclaim their space,
snuffing out our lights.

Delicious

Close up photo of a yellow lily with ants in it.

Like a butter dish,
giant yellow daylily—
a feast for the ants.

Mother lava

Photo of a luscious volcanic mountain.

Such attractive curves;
dormant, ever volcanic—
erupts sans warning.

Fine

Photo of an old dead tree’s trunk with new leaves growing on it.

Our earth will be fine:
from dead trees leaves sprout anew;
humanity won’t.

Sails

Photo of the Auckland city skyscrapers as seen from the other side of the river.

Across the water
smugly the city awaits,
for us to sail home.
