Shake

Close up photo of a map of New Zealand’s South Island in the foreground and the North Island in the background.

Shaking fat fingers,
humans seek to achieve big—
earth shakes; we’re done for.

Witches

photo of a row of traffic cones in the street
Traffic cones are often called “witches hats” in Australia and New Zealand

Little witches hats
scattered around our city—
conjurors at work.

Dying

Close up photo of dried ferns, still in the tree.

Shrinking in silence
fern curls up in the forest
alone in hospice

Photo of the landscape of Wellington, New Zealand, at sunset, as seen from the window of a plane.
Wellington, New Zealand

We bicker for Mars,
fawn over the red planet;
sun kissed land is here.

Homeward

photo of light sunset over the Auckland city shoreline, as seen from the window of a tall building with boats on the water

Boats drop their anchors,
sun sets over our city,
lovers going home.
