Alike

close up photo of the leaves of a plant, their veins visible

Thin veins, pumping blood
nurturing top to bottom
humans live like plants

Silent

Photo of the silhouette of a jacaranda tree and suburban houses.

The post-sunset blues
a still night in town
not even a breeze

Inevitable

Photo of a tile laid on the city of Perth reading, “A city grew, the lake was drained.” — Perth

Civilisation:
we come, we see, we conquer,
and destroy nature.

Musical

Photo of the moon in the distance with a canopy of deep green tree in the foreground.

Moonlight sonata
on a bright summer’s evening
without Beethoven

Little things

Photo of a suburban street with flowering jacaranda trees on both sides, and a shooting star in a cloudless deep blue sky.

Taken for granted:
shooting stars, dropping flowers,
and peace on our streets.
