River

From up in the sky
like the limbs of the lazy,
stretches our river.

Sway

Photo of seven tall ships docked on the port at sunset, with the moon visible through the sails on one ship.

Swaying drunkenly,
chasing after the sunset—
high sails on the port.

Rough

Photo of the hilly and rocky landscape of South Australia as seen from a Qantas aircraft, with the wing of the Abe visible on the photo.

Pockmarked and freckled,
rough around the edges: earth;
imperfect is life.

De-light

Photo of the half moon overshadowed by the lights from skyscrapers in the city.

A city aglow;
Screen lights, down lights, and tube lights:
drowning out moonlight.

Lights!

Photo of a light installation with multi-coloured metal rods resembling the light sabres in the Star Wars universe.

Glowing live action,
lightsabers in formation—
child’s play for adults.
