Survivors

photo of a multilevel car park with hanging plants on every floor — Multi-level car park at Zoho Corporation, Chennai, India

Bleeding from buildings,
hanging plants cling on to life—
find new ways to thrive.

Nervous

photo of a tree shedding its leaves in autumn

All over the place—
walking ball of nervous wreck,
autumn afternoon.

Storytellers

Near invisible,
life between the crevices—
spiders spin stories.

Musical

Natural talent,
as rhythmic whisper of gums,
percussionists.

Hi-vis

Outstanding colours,
like spots on a Dalmatian—
gum trees in a gorge.
