At last

Photo of a large tree in an empty suburban street. There are streaks of white clouds against a blue sky and tyre skid marks on the bitumen.

Clouds claw through the skies,
wild tyres screech across our roads—
summer has arrived.

Chase

photo of the sunset in the horizon, as seen from the front passenger seat of a car, while in traffic. There're vehicles ahead, all with headlights and indicators on.

With headlights blazing,
humans chase the horizon—
we drown the sunset.

New growth

photo of an old-looking tree with a big, new branch brancing off it and making its own branches

From sturdy old roots,
springs out a wandering branch—
like mother like child.

Evolution

A character arc:
unusually wet spring—
double-rainbowed sky.
