Standing ground

panaromic photo of a gum tree on a foot path in a park

Reclaiming nowhere,
safe from human weaponry—
quality timbre.

Memory

close up photo of a pair of doctorative Christmas bells hanging on a Norfolk Island pine tree

Rusty old Christmas:
bells hanging on grandpa’s pine,
in his memory.

Twirl

photo of a large tree's rounded canopy

In a pleated skirt,
a woman of the fifties—
the umbrella tree.

Rain

close up photo of a few pine needles on the tree, with rain droplets between them

Rain drenches parched land,
filling spaces between breaths;
gaps in pine needles.

Silent voices

photo of a black cat with its paw lifted up in the air

Cats can speak volumes;
the lift of a single paw:
worship me human.
