Blur

photo of rain on a window pane at night, with the lights on the street in blur

All the world’s a blur:
raindrops on my window pane—
mirroring my eyes.

Out

Close up photo of a big yellow flower, decaying.

Showing our wrinkles
greys settle—pretty flowers
on their way out.

Wall

Photo of a line of palm trees overlooking the coast, on a cloudy afternoon.

Bordering our coast
a wall that welcomes visitors—
towering palm trees.

Palms

photo of a row of Mexican palm trees with sunset colours fading behind them

Swallowing our sun,
giant monsters at twilight:
Mexican fan palms.

Veins

photo of a tree, its slender branches sprawled

Tiny veins stretch out,
ferrying life throughout earth—
a network of trees.
