Being

Close up photo of a white daisy.

Lining my sidewalk,
seeks no appreciation—
a daisy just is.

Battle of the skies

Photo of a row of airplanes on the tarmac, as seen through the window of another plane.

Little planes prepare
to face up to Ouranos;
airborne infantry.

Wild

Photo of an aloe vera bush.

Kraken of the earth,
monstrous prickly tentacles:
wild aloe vera.

Grass

Close up photo of a blade of ornamental grass with the sun setting behind it.

Ornamental grass
glisten in the setting sun;
fountains on sidewalks.

Hope

Photo of the sunset on the runway, as seen through the glass window of an airport. There’s an aircraft on the runway and a ground vehicle. The airport’s seating area is reflected on the glass.

I watch the sunset;
airport waiting area
promises sunrise.
