Leadership race

Photo of a monkey on a parapet wall, its mouth open in a call to other monkeys.

Wailing to its kind
monkey seeks tribal support—
election campaign.

Attention

Humans are busy—
desperate for attention,
the sky drops a star.

Autumn

photo of the brown leaves on a tree

Colour-changing leaves
shower love on passers by—
magic in the air.

Rose

Photo of a white rose, surrounded by bright green plants, just after some rain.

In a sea of green,
a cool autumn afternoon—
my white rose blooming.

Disappear

Photo of the Adelaide coast line seen faintly from the window of a plane.

All our worldly things:
jewels, utes, and high rises—
fade in the distance.
