Ready

Prompt and well prepared:
airports for Christmas decor;
unlike scheduled flights.

Inevitable

Civilisation:
we come, we see, we conquer,
and destroy nature.

Construction

Photo of a couple of tall buildings taking on a front-facing camera.

Sky is the limit:
we build infinity pools,
and highways to hell.

Musical

Photo of the moon in the distance with a canopy of deep green tree in the foreground.

Moonlight sonata
on a bright summer’s evening
without Beethoven

Little things

Photo of a suburban street with flowering jacaranda trees on both sides, and a shooting star in a cloudless deep blue sky.

Taken for granted:
shooting stars, dropping flowers,
and peace on our streets.
