Shooting star

From Mount Eden volcano, Auckland, New Zealand

Slashing through dark clouds,
as an alien spaceship,
emblazons earth, sun.

Chosen path

One Tree Hill, Auckland, New Zealand

Every heave matters;
no chariots to heaven—
backpacker pathway.

Denial

Canberra sunset

Bush fire-smoked sunsets?
Weather on hormonal spell.
Climate change… What now?

Imagine

St. Kilda markets, Melbourne

Climate revival,
political sanity—
dream on, you’re free to.

When humans are gone…

Bondi beach, Sydney

Like moaning witches
with stretching skin, dragging robes,
sea beds, years later.
