Watch

Budding tree, a child—
a little taller each day,
fleeting life, observe.

It’s a sign!

Earth, frozen in time
packs a crunch under my feet,
winter is coming.

Finding peace

Weaving through bushes—
huffing, puffing, racing heart,
calm and clear the head.

Teenage earth

Beautiful pimples,
breaking out from the earth’s crust—
dry weather symptoms.

Highness

Punchbowl Reserve, Launceston

A drip here, drop there,
flowing with humanity—
water god descends.
