Wasted

photo of a steel dumping site in south India, depicting a pile of metal barrels

Desolate country
where old metal goes to die
all the world’s a dump

Watching

winter sunset reflected on glass windows

Millions of sunsets
behind double-glazed windows—
life in reflections.

Season’s changing

photo of a leafless tree against the background of a cloudless blue sky

Late-winter blue skies,
naked limbs are sunbathing,
soon there’ll be flowers.

Owning it

photo of a majestic blue gum tree in country South Australia

On a raised dais,
wide arms taking ownership:
blue gum; young woman.

Magnum opus

photo of a square framed kaleidoscopic artwork with bright colours

Kaleidoscopic,
sheer master stroke of vibrance—
mind of an artist.
