Lights

Pōhutukawa, also known as Christmas tree, is endemic to New Zealand.

Tiny Christmas lights
bringing joy to street corners
Pōhutukawa.

Excess

Photo of a giant tree trunk, its branches cut off.

“Branches” seems surplus;
limbs of giant ancient trees,
cutting “arms” sounds bad.

Fear

Photo of a poster on a wall that reads “what if it all works out?”

Afraid, I hold back
leaping into the unknown;
trying new coffee.

Past

Close up photo of a bunch of purple agapanthus flowers.

Big blast from the past
the humble agapanthus
memories of home

Giants
