The wait

Photo of a plane on a turn in the runway, as seen from the window seat along the wing of the plane.

Cruising the runway,
waiting for life to take off—
dreamers on a plane.

Buzzing

Close up photo of a bee, swarming around a bright yellow flower.

Head in the flowers,
working to save the planet—
bees don’t make a scene.

Watch out

Close up photo of a black cat looking sideways at the camera.

Infamous side eye:
mother’s warning to her child;
black cat’s to human.

Traveller

Screenshot of the flight route map on an international flight from Melbourne to Singapore.

Halfway round the world
spotting clouds from in the air—
minuscule human.

Aspirations

a long full-length shadow of the author

A larger than life
giant looming over ants;
my shadow dreams big.
