Ignored

Close up photo of a big, flat mushroom tipped on its side.

Kicked onto the side,
stomped on by immature kids—
the homeless; fungi.

Cloudy

Photo of a cloudy sky, and a row of Norfolk Island pine trees in the far distance, as seen from the beach.

If clouds were forests,
would humans harvest them too,
once the land is bare?

Wallpaper

Photo of a luscious green valley, and the sky covered in clouds.

A valley of green,
blueless sky plastered by clouds;
road trips in winter.

Magic

close up photo of a small toadstool with a few pine needles above and around it

Hides unassuming,
beneath piles of pine needles:
magic of the world.

Fake

photo of Perth's skyline, as seen from Kings Park entrance just before sunrise — Pre-sunrise in Perth

Unnatural lights;
in the darkness of morning
sustain a city.
