Soul stare

Wall art in a shopping centre, Canberra

Though ink washes off,
haunting eyes stay forever—
shopping centre scenes.

Up in the air

Though invincible
even nature stays grounded;
mere mortals, we can’t.

It’s ok; it’s natural

The Royal Botanical Gardens, Sydney

Mind of a human,
bit rusty on the outside—
like nature herself.

The judge

Winter sunset, Canberra

Observing the world,
looking down on the earthlings—
ancient trees, godlike.

In a gift shop

Silently pensive,
observing world’s rise and fall—
like god, the statue.
