Standing

Swallowing the sun,
she oak stands tall—furious
as her home is burned

Observer

Dried up river bed,
staring at the horizon—
with a mind as blank.

Survivors

Bleeding from buildings,
hanging plants cling on to life—
find new ways to thrive.

High life

Sleeping on the floor,
floating around in skytrains—
my airport lifestyle.

Flight

Sit back and relax
pilot hurtles through the air
a high-pressure job
