Remains

photo of a forest as seen from the window of a plane, with the plane's wing visible

Humans fly away;
a sliver of greenery—
all that’s left behind.

Steer

Photo of the sun rising in the background and silhouettes of big ships in the foreground, Sydney harbour.

The ship and her crew:
cheery sun and scattered clouds,
steer the day along.

One and all

Photo of the intersection of the ocean and sky, as seen from the window of a plane. The plane’s wing is visible in the photo.

At the edge of Earth—
our airplane glides silently
we’re a pale blue dot.

Alcoholics anonymous

photo of empty alcohol bottles suspended upside down from the roof of a bar at the Singapore airport

A pristine lineup;
delicate lives on the ledge
one drop from mishap.

Observer effect

close up photo of a small fountain at the Singapore airport

The flowing fountain,
in a photographer’s eyes,
locked in a moment.
