Focus

Photo of the top of Skycity in Auckland, as seen while walking down a dirt track on a volcanic hill.

Walking the dirt track
focused on glitz and glamour—
small snake slithers past.

Make up

Close up photo of a small purple flower with vertical white stripes.

Before sunlight hits,
pretty flowers bloom outside
wearing eye shadow.

Propel

Photo of a small plane’s propellers, as seen through the window of the plane.

All the world’s a plane
we’re strapped in a window seat
propelling through life.

Passing time

Photo of the sun setting in the horizon and a row of boats sailing on the ocean, as seen from the top of a hill.

Staring out at sea,
leaning on a wooden bench,
counting tiny sails.

Witches

Little witches hats
scattered around our city—
conjurors at work.
