Rain drenches parched land,
filling spaces between breaths;
gaps in pine needles.

Vibrant sun catcher,
manipulates light for looks—
photographer; tree.

We sit side by side,
earthling and water dragon—

Growing

cutting through the symmetry,
tree outgrows buildings.

Whispering gums

Panoramic photo of a lemon scented gum against a blue sky dotted by clouds.

The neighbourhood watch;
as humankind passes by,
eucalypts whisper.
