Naked

photo of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House on a partly cloudly winter morning — Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, Sydney

Sans make up, sans bling,
when the paparazzi leaves
Harbour Bridge remains.

Winter crop

Close up photo of a single chile that’s been grown in winter. The chile is long and creased heavily at the top, with ridges in its stem resembling a pair of eyes.

Unseasonal growth
bringing unsavoury looks
cold weather chile

Silence

Photo of an empty train station with a heavy fog hanging in the distance.

Small town existence
the silence of the morning
echoes through the fog.

Host

Close up photo of a spider web between a leaves of a cactus plant.

Spider makes her home
between the grooves of cactus—
house plant becomes host.

Cosy

Close up photo of the latte art on a coffee in a keep cup.

Down an alleyway;
cold mornings and coffee shops
warm hug in a mug.
