Missing

Photo of raindrops on a window of a ferry, with a view of dark clouds and the ocean.

As tears, rain drops fall,
ominous clouds gather round—
spring goes a hiding.

Unknown

Photo of the flight path map in a plane travelling from Australia to New Zealand across the Tasman sea.

Teetering on edge:
moving to a new country;
jumping off a cliff.

Zen boat

Photo of an Auckland ferry approaching the dock, with other smaller boats in the background. — Auckland ferry

Hanging out at sea—
grounded but head in the clouds,
boats live the zen life.

True or false

Photo of a road through a mountain as seen from the top, luscious greenery visible only the other side of the road.

The road stretches on,
green grass on the other side—
the trick of promise.

Fault in our lines

photo of the snow-capped mountains in the south-west of New Zealand's south island, as seen from a plane — The south island of New Zealand

The veins of our world,
well hidden from human touch—
fault lines in Southland.
