Watching

winter sunset reflected on glass windows

Millions of sunsets
behind double-glazed windows—
life in reflections.

About time

Death, omnipresent,
surrounded by the living
my garden blossoms

Braveheart

Face up to the sky—
brave the chilly wintry breeze,
spring is on its way.

Season’s changing

Late-winter blue skies,
naked limbs are sunbathing,
soon there’ll be flowers.

Owning it

On a raised dais,
wide arms taking ownership:
blue gum; young woman.
