Unwanted

Scarred, marred, and thorny
relationships; cast aside,
felled trees on sidewalks.

Family

Winter morning in Canberra

Wintry sun, the son,
radiating defiance,
against trees, parents.

Dreamworld

Autumn in Canberra, Australia — Autumn views in Canberra

Scene from picture books;
eye-popping and unreal;
sometimes seems nature.

Everyone’s holey

Though they be dented,
deserving adoration,
are flowers; humans.

Warms the soul

Frosty sunrise, Canberra

Full bodied, complex,
as rich, well rounded Syrah—
in your face, the sun.
