Turn away my friendโ€”
the world’s selectively blind;
ignore ignorance.

Escapade

Into roaring skyโ€”
as a fly, fly away friend,
free yourself from ties.

Innate

Rusty on edges
as nature, areโ€”mostโ€”humans,
except, not as bright.

Gratitude

Canberra sunset during bush fires in New South Wales

A show-stopping scene:ย 
nature’s thanks to humankindโ€”
for global warming.


Photo: The bloody Canberra sunset from a couple of days ago. The redness is a direct result of the smoke that wafted into the city from the bush fires lapping up forests and natural reserves not far away.
