Works

Photo of Adelaide city, as seen from the window seat of an airplane, as it comes in for landing.

All the world’s a stage:
parks, rivers, corporations;
you and I, workers.

Safe

Close up photo of a tiny bird’s egg in a nest, on the ground, surrounded by grass.

Nest on my garden
tiny egg nestled within—
mulch keeping it cool.

Home

Photo of dead gum tree barks against a cloudless blue sky.

I watch the gums be,
embracing the cloudless sky,
owning their country.

Dying

Close up photo of a red rose with most of its petals dropped.

A broken red rose
bleeds all over my front yard—
spring breeze pays homage.

Empty

Photo of an empty beach with evergreen pine trees lining the road in the distance.

Evergreen patches;
no human being in sight—
winter on the beach.
