Wake

photo of the pre dawn colours in the sky, with a few trees silhouetted

Silhouetted trees,
butter yellows, baby pinks,
sunrise; brave new world.

A hit

Close up photo of a barista style coffee in a wide white cup.

Expecting a jolt,
I gaze into the abyss;
beautiful coffee.

Folds

close up photo of a bunch of bougainvillea on the plant

Folded up petals,
origami in nature;
bougainvillea.

Breeze

Photo of the tops of tall trees, with one party tall and thin gumtree towering over the rest.

Tall model poses,

gently wind blows through her hair;

eucalyptus sways.

Years

Photo of an undated grave with the name, Strange, in bold letters.

A war had ended,
yet more battles they did brew—
each year marked by deaths.
