Pearls

Close up photo of a flowering wattle bush on the ground.

Scattered on the ground:
pearls of a precious lady;
wattle of this land.

Party trick

Photo of a chandelier style ceiling light, casting its shadows on the ceiling.

Vintage chandelier,
charming a new audience—
throwing globes around.

Almost

Close up photo of apricot flower buds on a tree.

Cold feet wearing off,
the buds are ready to pop
spring is almost here.

Blur

Photo of the rain drops on an airplane window with the ground, wings, and lights in the background, blurry.

On, we yearn to fly,
our pasts are a bit blurry;
rain drops on windows.

Making space

photo of a crane in a construction site, with clouds scattered just above the crane

Lifting up our clouds
paving way for more concrete—
cranes in our cities.
