Strong

photo of a singlel gumtree on an empty brown valley, on the way from Adelaide to Central Australia

In desolation,
in vastness of highway hum,
grows a steady gum.

Light

Filters through your limbs:
kiss of love; ray of sunshine—
early winter trees.

Surrounded

Melrose, South Australia, as seen from halfway up Mount Remarkable

Flanked on all four sides,
eucalyptus aplenty—
tiny island town.

Our layers crumble—
when who we were fades away,
who we could be, comes.

Useful

photo of the broken stump of a tree burnt out in the middle
On the way up Mount Remarkable Summit, Melrose, South Australia

Bush fire season ends—
once a thriving monarchy,
now a burnt landmark.
