High visibility

Close up photo of the flowers of an aloe plant.

Spiky, on my path,
polished in hi-vis orange;
the healer, aloe.

Host

Close up photo of a spider web between a leaves of a cactus plant.

Spider makes her home
between the grooves of cactus—
house plant becomes host.

Cosy

Close up photo of the latte art on a coffee in a keep cup.

Down an alleyway;
cold mornings and coffee shops
warm hug in a mug.

Limbs

Photo of several trees’ branches crossing over each other, on a cloudy winter morning, as seen from below.

Roaming our sidewalks,
awry limbed shadow figures;
paintings no one sees.

Return

Close up photo of a pink rose on the bush.

Roses have returned:
winter showers didn’t drown them
nor my pruning kill.
