Hiding

dull sun as seen through the clouds on a winter afternoon

A hole in the wall
along heavenly expanse
winter sun hideout.

Distance helps

photo of bottlebrush plants a couple too close to the camera and blurry and the ones in the distance are clearer.

Placed overly close
problems, and even goodness—
blurry, unhelpful.

Gatekeepers

Photo of a large tree with its branches swaying tiwards the ground

Bouncers of the land,
sway to music in the air,
peaceful until sparked.

Adventure

a street with a one way sign pointing to the left side of the photo with a dense fog in the distance — Launceston, Tasmania

In our life’s journey,
just one way to go: unknown,
deep into the fog.

Hang in there

photo of a spider web on the outside of a glass panel, as seen from the inside

In cold crevices
holding on to warmth—briefly,
a network of lives.
