Fly in, fly out

Going coast to coast
living life on the edges
never belonging.

Give way

Wander round-about,
give way to scorching summer
and jacarandas.

Wonder

A jacaranda tree in bloom, its canopy slightly leaning over the road.

The leaning tower:
Adelaide’s summer wonder,
jacaranda blooms.

Habits

Photo of a person’s hand scrolling through the phone, while the person’s sat in the driver’s seat of a stationary car. The morning sun amines into the car, onto the person’s hand.

Morning ritual:
syncing music on Bluetooth—
sun smiles down at us.

Faceoff

Big, bulky, bullies
fiercely face off by the creek—
trees of Australia.
