Flowers

Photo of white-petal flowers strewn on a green lawn., with dried and brown leaves along the edge.

Scattered in our parks
life, dying and decaying—
little white petals.

Litter

Hospital gardens:
good people make bad choices;
littering wristbands.

Secrets

Photo of two tombstones in a cemetery with trees and plants around them.

Chamber of the dead;
while life bustles overhead,
entomb old secrets.

Bright

Photo of the sunset’s glow as seen from the window of the plane, with the light in halo around the plane’s engine.

The horizon’s bright:
my flight is a metaphor;
adventurer’s life.

Park

Photo of large trees, their leaves turning colour and dropping, with a mirror way overhead in the far distance.

Walking by a park;
above, the motorway roars—
below, some leaves crunch.
