Excess

Photo of a giant tree trunk, its branches cut off.

“Branches” seems surplus;
limbs of giant ancient trees,
cutting “arms” sounds bad.

Fear

Photo of a poster on a wall that reads “what if it all works out?”

Afraid, I hold back
leaping into the unknown;
trying new coffee.

Past

Close up photo of a bunch of purple agapanthus flowers.

Big blast from the past
the humble agapanthus
memories of home

Giants

Photo of a slender tree on Mt. Eden summit.

Their brittle branches

taking over the valley

flowering giants

Commute

Photo of Rangitoto island as seen from the window of a bus.

Modern commuter
the day dawns over traffic 
breakfast in a bus
