Smoke over Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra

By the Lake Burley Griffin, in Autumn, Canberra

In captured moments,
yearns human, naturally,
hopes to make time—still.

Arms wide, “Come hither!”
beckons the great mothership—
rooted in the ground.

Expectant

Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne

Waiting patiently,
for life-defining sentence,
those courtroom benches
