Destroyer

Fighter plane on display at the National Museum of Australia — National Museum of Australia

Cuts the atmosphere,
blazing through clouds in its way—
bushfire in the sky.

Nostalgia

Gangtok in Sikkim, India

Summertime haven,
like walking into heaven—
photographs from then.

Shady

Shady footpath

Slicing through the light,
casting shadows on my path,
many shades of green.

Prevail

Graffiti in Melbourne

Victory trickles,
on pavements, on alleyways—
one love emerges.

Socialism

Graffiti in Canberra — “Poetry must be made by all, not by one.” | Canberra

Layperson’s refuge;
and learned’s weapon of choice,
poetry is life.
