Flight

Photo of an aircraft of the Royal Dutch Airlines, as seen from a window at the airport

Sit back and relax
pilot hurtles through the air
a high-pressure job

Nervous

photo of a tree shedding its leaves in autumn

All over the place—
walking ball of nervous wreck,
autumn afternoon.

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.

Storytellers

Near invisible,
life between the crevices—
spiders spin stories.

Musical

a hiking trail with tall, slender gum trees on either side of it

Natural talent,
as rhythmic whisper of gums,
percussionists.
