Peace

O’Sullivan Beach, Adelaide

A wandering soul
must have a beach of her own,
if she is to rest.

Small problem

the ocean on a overcast day with a family making sandcastles in the distance
Largs Bay, Adelaide

We’re just tiny specks,
a world of ocean around—
crow shit in windscreen.

New ride

Long ride to Henley Beach, Adelaide

A road to the coast—
laying out the red carpet,
welcoming new wheels

Tiny

the beach as seen from the jetty with humans in the distance
Semaphore beach, Adelaide

From the jetty’s edge
with an ocean between us
minuscule humans

Masked

Semaphore beach, Adelaide

Undettered shorelines
as far as the eye could see—
turbulent deep seas.
