Sunbathing

It’s feeding season,
long limbs stretch out to the sun—
riverside white gum.

Stunning

How spectacular
the scale of humanity;
its social impact.

Perfection

an exhibit at Illuminate Adelaide, a large half-bubble placed over a prominent statue in the city of Adelaide with the words "I love Adelaide" and lights all around it — One of the many exhibits at Illuminate Adelaide, 2022

A night so pristine,
all things bright and beautiful—
life in a bubble.

Cheers

Frosty winter night,
silent fire smoking within—
strangers at the pub.

Evolution

Shrivelled and brittle,
trees abloom with liveliness—
winter shall pass too.
