Growth

Photo of a tall leaf-less tree with the tips of its limbs touching the electrical cables.

The teenage growth spurt:
trees shoot straight past their parents
twist into cables

Grandmothered

photo of a rugged limbed deciduous tree without many leaves

Wildly-lived old tree
shedding for her winter years—
slender, grandma limbs.

Yet

Photo of the sun rising behind the skyscrapers in the Perth CBD.

Sad times reign supreme
humanity grows colder
sun rises in hope.

Sunshine

Close up photos of bright yellow flowers on the footpath.

Cloudy winter day,
little bundles of sunshine
dotting the footpaths.

Sunned

Photo of a tall coconut tree on a suburban property, its top bent towards the direction of the sun.

Sways to the wind’s song,
suburban coconut tree
bows to the sun god.
