Scarred, marred, and thorny
relationships; cast aside,
felled trees on sidewalks.
Unwanted
Family
Wintry sun, the son,
radiating defiance,
against trees, parents.
The elders
Shrivelling over time,
crippling under the world’s weight—
the ageing, the tree.
Morning breath
Waking blurry eyed,
though ashamed and regretful—
adult? Accepted.
Dreamworld
Scene from picture books;
eye-popping and unreal;
sometimes seems nature.
The Chaos Within
