Reality

Just beyond our reach
small pockets of greenery;
rising sea levels.

Protests

SANTOS is an Australian oil and gas company. Acronym for South Australia Northern Territory Oil Search. Climate activists ran this Dump SANTOS campaign during the Tour Down Under bicycle race in South Australia. SANTOS is the sole sponsor for the race.

Changing childhood joys:
activists chalking footpaths,
defy compliance.

Consequence

My favourite spinach plant after a severe wind storm

Ferocious wind blows,
tears through a tender garden —
a warrior falls.

Short sighted

Funny, this climate
it’s all lush and green nearby
foggy horizon

Heatwave

Reflection of the afternoon sun

So bright it’s blurry,
all life is dazed and confused—
in spring comes summer.
