Prints

photo of thehuman footprints on the sand by the beach — Semaphore beach, Adelaide

My soul takes a dip,
drifts away with the seagulls—
they leave no footprints

The end

photo of the sunset in the distance, with deep orange colours

Clouds once full and round
shrink; sun sets hollows deepen—
winter is coming.

Temptations

photo of a tall multi-storey building

Stacked, tempting the weak,
hierarchies of power—
pancakes for breakfast.

Full circle

photo of dead flowers on the ground along with one fresh flower

Trees cleansing themselves
shed dead skin and dry blossoms
retrieve life through death.

In passing

photo of a leafless tree and a road traffic sign nearby that restricts speed to a 40km/h limit

Slow your horses down,
precious moments are crossing—
observe those nice trees.
