Goodbye

photo of a brown autumn leaf on the ground, taken on the second week of winter

Fragile and fading,
welcoming clear tomorrows—
dying leaves, bodies.

Just arrived

night fog settling, as seen around street lights — Canberra streets

Out in bitter cold,
settling down gradually—
fog, new immigrant.

Forgotten

photo of a baby shoe on the side of a bike path

Along the foot path,
teens huddle for a Tik Tok—
ghost of childhood lost.

Busy bees

blurry image of trees passing by as seen from inside a moving bus

Always on the go,
looking yet never seeing—
the human lifestyle.

Decision pending

photo of a by the side of a fork in a road

Stands a wise old tree,
for passers by to notice—
waiting at crossroads.
