Human obsessions:
infiltrating glass ceilings
and ozone layers.

Matagarup Bridge, Perth

Intricate metal,
stretched across the horizon,
of concrete jungle.

Giant trees grow old
winding up towards the skies
as a child’s painting

Bottlebrush, a tree of the Myrtaceae family, endemic to Australia

growing from the inside out—
bottlebrushes bloom.

Tethered together,
warring, despite shared borders
and a spinal cord.
