Mirage

photo of a glass building, reflecting white clouds and the blue sky, as seen from below

We crave luxury—
look up to high offices
that mirror nature.

Quest

photo of the O'Sullivan Beach as seen from the distance — O’Sullivan Beach, Adelaide

Seek serenity:
struggling through slippery slopes,
stepping into seas.

Spark

As long lanky bean
green wires stretching to the earth
keep the spark alive

Union

close up photo of the seed pods of a plant in the nightshade family

Birds of a feather,
bound as one, by flesh and blood—
seeds of flower crops.

Facades

close up photo of the bud of a sunflower, starting to unravel its layers

Sunflower bud’s life—
a multi-layered affair;
everyone wears masks.
