Chase

photo of the sunset in the horizon, as seen from the front passenger seat of a car, while in traffic. There're vehicles ahead, all with headlights and indicators on.

With headlights blazing,
humans chase the horizon—
we drown the sunset.

Artiste

photo of two large trees looming over roofs of houses with the deep orange of the sunset in the horizon

Sold out performance,
standing ovation from trees,
the sun takes a bow.

Birth

photo of sunflower seedlines in the ground — Sunflowers in the making

Slicing through packed earth,
seeds crack open to first leaves—
children of the sun.

I spy

close up photo of a bird sitting on a railing at the Adelaide Botanic Garden, surrounded by trees

Among greenery,
in quiet contemplation,
human-watching bird.

Growing up

Storm clouds gathering,
taking off against the wind—
child leaves parents’ home.
