Windsurfer

Photo of a windsurfer with Rangitoto Island in the background.

Catching gentle winds
says hello to seagull friends
expert windsurfer.

Tree stance

Close up photo of the base of a tree’s trunk, its stretches visible.

Stretch marks on her trunk:
rewards of rearing the young;
mama stands proudly.

Pondering

Photo of a tall pine tree as seen from below, near its trunk.

We lie on the grass,

counting the faults in our stars—

till we stop counting.
