seeped through continental plates,
dripped into our winter sunsets—
would they still be pretty?

Photo of Rangitoto Island as seen from an Auckland street.

Pimples on the Earth

sign of boiling rage within;

volcanic showdown

Untarnished

Photo of the New Zealand landscape as seen from the window of a plane.

Blending blissfully
blues of the ocean and sky
untarnished by wars

photo of the shadow of a person standing on top of mountain during late morning

Conquering the world
tiny human stands up tall
until the sun’s high
