Blah

Photo of an exhaust fan on a white ceiling with two rectangular tube light panels beside it.

Siphoning off joy,
silent fan over my head:
a sterile office.

Pale dot

Photo of the half moon before sunrise, in a backyard with the silhouette of the shed and surrounding trees visible.

Single pale white dot
from deep in the western sky
rises with our hopes.

Regrow

Close up photo of the peeling bark of a paperbark tree.

Bravely paperbark
slashes open its old heart
so it grows anew.

De-light

Photo of the half moon overshadowed by the lights from skyscrapers in the city.

A city aglow;
Screen lights, down lights, and tube lights:
drowning out moonlight.

Dance

Close up photo of a daisy swaying in the wind.

Dancing with the wind,
the sidewalk daisy eavesdrops,
transporting whispers.
