Curried

close up photo of a sprig of a curry leaf plant — Curry leaves

A spice in its spine
carries the soul of curries—
one almighty leaf.

Tiny

the beach as seen from the jetty with humans in the distance — Semaphore beach, Adelaide

From the jetty’s edge
with an ocean between us
minuscule humans

Growing

a cactus plant, with an arm growing upwards from a broken stump that had been growing sideways.

A cactus seeks light
reprioritises path—
pivotal moments.

Dropped

a lush green lawn with a tree and its yellow leaves strewn fallen and strewn across the lawn

Cast away unloved
a child’s toy loses its sheen—
autumn leaves let go.

We like vintage things
because we can cut them down
and build newer things
