Glow

Ok hoot do the pink-orange glow of the predawn, as seen through the light curtains of a bedroom window.
Wellington, New Zealand, just before sunrise. #NoFilter

I wake to a glow
alien pink filters in
my window at five

Lights

Photo of a Pōhutukawa tree in full bloom on a street corner on an overcast day.
Pōhutukawa, also known as Christmas tree, is endemic to New Zealand.

Tiny Christmas lights
bringing joy to street corners
Pōhutukawa.

Excess

Photo of a giant tree trunk, its branches cut off.

“Branches” seems surplus;

cutting “arms” sounds bad.

Fear

Photo of a poster on a wall that reads “what if it all works out?”

Afraid, I hold back
leaping into the unknown;
trying new coffee.

Past

Close up photo of a bunch of purple agapanthus flowers.

Big blast from the past
the humble agapanthus
memories of home
