Autumn

photo of the brown leaves on a tree

Colour-changing leaves
shower love on passers by—
magic in the air.

Rose

Photo of a white rose, surrounded by bright green plants, just after some rain.

In a sea of green,
a cool autumn afternoon—
my white rose blooming.

Disappear

Photo of the Adelaide coast line seen faintly from the window of a plane.

All our worldly things:
jewels, utes, and high rises—
fade in the distance.

Comfort

Photo of a pair of leg warmers, one with a big hole where the heel should be.

Gifts from a loved one:
things with gaping holes in them;
we cling to comfort.

Mad clouds

Photo of oddly shaped clouds against a blue sky.

Arms wide, in the air,
partying like the eighties—
wispy clouds scatter.
