City

A plaque in the city of Perth, Australia.

A city was built
by the felling of a tree;
we can’t let things be.

Height

Photo of Jacob’s Ladder stairs in Perth, as seen from the first step. — Jacob’s Ladder, Perth

Every step we take,
a bit closer to the top,
so we can look down.

Priorities

Close up photo of a mug with a large vertical crack on it.

Just a broken mug?
a crack in the universe
of coffee drinkers.

Hello there

panaromic photo of a tall gumtree, with sunlight filtering through its leaves and branches

Humans frolicking,
taking insta-worthy shots;
trees welcome autumn.

Lone

Close up photo of a spiky cactus plant.

Scared of getting hurt,
spewing spikes cactus survives,
never having loved.
