Exchange

Close up photo of a Sanyo television sitting on an old table along with an ol sofa and a few other things, cast outside the front door of a house, as hard rubbish

Old idiot box,
cast away for a smart one,
modern family.

Rest

photo of the sunset behind stormy clouds, emiting a deep orange colour, with a rose bush in the foreground

Sky puts on a show—
my roses and I enjoy,
after-work catchup.

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.

An acacia plant

Swallowing the sun,
reflects the rainbow within—
flowering native.
