Left behind

Photo of the lush greenery as seen from the window of a plane, its wing visible in the photo.

We take to the skies
aim for the dark depths of space
dismissing what’s here.

Sunshine

Close up photos of bright yellow flowers on the footpath.

Cloudy winter day,
little bundles of sunshine
dotting the footpaths.

Showing off

Photo of a South Australian beach in other a single four-wheel drive car facing the photographer, with the water on the left side of the driver.

A movie hero
strutting to his own music—
big car on a beach.

Sunned

Photo of a tall coconut tree on a suburban property, its top bent towards the direction of the sun.

Sways to the wind’s song,
suburban coconut tree
bows to the sun god.

The fall

photo of a suburban street with dissciduos trees on either side, with red leaves on their tops and leaves scattered on the ground

Streets full of red heads
shedding their coats all at once
city pipes gasping.
