Autumn bleeds

photo of autumn leaves in Canberra

Yellow, orange, red—
the becoming of autumn,
bleeding out through leaves.

Greetings!

sunlight reflecting on a raspberry bush

Sunshine raining down,
a lovely kiss good morning:
roadside raspberries.

Morning, sunshine!

foggy morning in Goulburn

Through my window bars,
descending, cold as judgement:
early morning fog.

The dot

photo of the moon by a towering church building, Goulburn — One of the many churches in Goulburn, New South Wales

A blemish-free sky,
made up with strong foundation—
a birth mark, the moon.

The burning

logs burning in the fireplace

Pop, pop, crackle, pop,
sound of tiny hearts breaking:
trees felled for firewood.
