Consequence

photo of a tall spinach plant fallen over after a large wind storm — My favourite spinach plant after a severe wind storm

Ferocious wind blows,
tears through a tender garden —
a warrior falls.

Attractive

photo of spider flowers, also called grevillia, a native tree of Australia

Laws of attraction:
drawing in those who pass by—
flowering spiders.

Past

photo of the old post office in the Adelaide CBD, built in 1866

I face history,
the grand and once glorious—
its novelty gone.

Hope

Between life and death,
bridges ferrying people,
seeking greener grass.

Heavy

We watch our shadows,
fall heavily on the land—
don’t see the impacts.
