Unruly

Perfectly portioned,
meticulously maintained;
garden plants don’t care.

Pondering

We lie on the grass,

counting the faults in our stars—

till we stop counting.

Qantas Airlines, which calls itself The Spirit of Australia

Kangaroo hopping,
early at the crack of dawn—
the Aussie spirit.

Merging into one,
the many shades of orange—
summertime sunset.

At ten thousand feet,
I awake dazed and confused
with the rising sun.
