Graffiti

Photo of a wall in an alleyway in Wellington, New Zealand, with the words, “Some graffiti here would be cool!” graffitied on it. — Random alley in Wellington, New Zealand.

Acts of defiance:
drawing thoughts on alley walls—
an urban “problem”.

Price

Photo of the parliament building of New Zealand in Welling.

Grandiose buildings:
thousand-dollar suits and boots;
cost of living bills.

Dream

Photo of a cloudy sky and a green landscape as seen from the window of an airplane.

Bright blue horizon—
buckled into a tin can,
refugees dream big.

Coat

Photo of a mountain covered in trees. Sugarloaf reserve in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Like moss on a rock
mountains blanketed with trees
protect life within.

Love

Photo of a walking trail, surrounded by trees with large canopies.

Walking down the aisle—
birds sing, twigs crunch underfoot,
to wed adventure.
