Photo of the landscape of Wellington, New Zealand, at sunset, as seen from the window of a plane. — Wellington, New Zealand

We bicker for Mars,
fawn over the red planet;
sun kissed land is here.

Homeward

photo of light sunset over the Auckland city shoreline, as seen from the window of a tall building with boats on the water

Boats drop their anchors,
sun sets over our city,
lovers going home.

Noncommittal

Ships at the ready,
lined up on our city’s shores;
neutral hobbyists.

Faces

Strange faces abound
on the streets and in my home—
some of them funny.

Relax

Chill out and relax;
the universe sends me signs—
every business trip.
