No tears

Front -facing photo of the author’s eye, aglow in blue light.

Scrolling through chaos,
no wonder we are dry eyed—
aglow in blue light.

Left behind

Photo of the lush greenery as seen from the window of a plane, its wing visible in the photo.

We take to the skies
aim for the dark depths of space
dismissing what’s here.

Chaos

Photo of a cat and a dog lying on the bed, facing away from the camera with the photographer’s leg visible on the left hand side corner of the frame.

We sit in silence,
contemplating the chaos
within each other.

Storm

Photo of dark clouds gathering on a beach, with a small group of surfers in the distance standing on the shore.

The surfers convene:
brewing up a thunderstorm,
shady clouds gather.

Leaning in

Photo of a gum tree on the sidewalk, leaning across the road.

The leaning tower
of South Australian suburbs:
ancient eucalypt.
