Dying

close up photo of a freshly-fallen lacebark flower on a bed of dried, old leaves

Angelic flower
lays on a bed of autumn
disintegrating.

Flowering

close up photo of a bunch of white crape myrtle flowers on the tree

A white so cooling,
on sweltering summer days,
crape myrtle blossoms.

Dance monkey

Feeling the music
in the silence of the dark,
dancing on the street.

Mirage

photo of a glass building, reflecting white clouds and the blue sky, as seen from below

We crave luxury—
look up to high offices
that mirror nature.

Quest

O’Sullivan Beach, Adelaide

Seek serenity:
struggling through slippery slopes,
stepping into seas.
