Sway

Photo of seven tall ships docked on the port at sunset, with the moon visible through the sails on one ship.

Swaying drunkenly,
chasing after the sunset—
high sails on the port.

Wall

Photo of a line of palm trees overlooking the coast, on a cloudy afternoon.

Bordering our coast
a wall that welcomes visitors—
towering palm trees.

Weeds

Close up photo of white sorrel flowers on the ground.

Gathering of weeds,
basking in the spring sunshine,
colonise footpaths.

Island

Rangitoto Ialand

Forming tiny mounds
on shores of Rangitoto—
ocean laps away.

Silence

Photo of an empty train station with a heavy fog hanging in the distance.

Small town existence
the silence of the morning
echoes through the fog.
