Disappear

Photo of the Adelaide coast line seen faintly from the window of a plane.

All our worldly things:
jewels, utes, and high rises—
fade in the distance.

Comfort

Photo of a pair of leg warmers, one with a big hole where the heel should be.

Gifts from a loved one:
things with gaping holes in them;
we cling to comfort.

Mad clouds

Photo of oddly shaped clouds against a blue sky.

Arms wide, in the air,
partying like the eighties—
wispy clouds scatter.

Sunset stroll

Photo of the sunset’s colours in the horizon and a road leading towards it.

Strolling at sunset,
racing the deep horizon,
to awake the moon.

Up

Photo of the sun rising from behind the trees. — Photo credit: my brother.

From beyond the trees,
like a dead man arising—
the sun gathers mist.
