Humans

Photo of a still water body in the Auckland zoo with a small, lake kayak on it. — A duck enclosure and a fake kayak, Auckland zoo.

We’re barely afloat
a kayak on a still lake
chaos in our minds

Party trick

Photo of a chandelier style ceiling light, casting its shadows on the ceiling.

Vintage chandelier,
charming a new audience—
throwing globes around.

Making space

photo of a crane in a construction site, with clouds scattered just above the crane

Lifting up our clouds
paving way for more concrete—
cranes in our cities.

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.
