Turn away my friendโ
the world’s selectively blind;
ignore ignorance.

Turn away my friendโ
the world’s selectively blind;
ignore ignorance.

Into roaring skyโ
as a fly, fly away friend,
free yourself from ties.

Rusty on edges
as nature, areโmostโhumans,
except, not as bright.

A show-stopping scene:ย
nature’s thanks to humankindโ
for global warming.
Photo: The bloody Canberra sunset from a couple of days ago. The redness is a direct result of the smoke that wafted into the city from the bush fires lapping up forests and natural reserves not far away.

Summer rays showerโ
as if the universe said:
and let there be light.
It’s my first summer in Canberra (yes, in this part of the world, Christmas is literally hot!), and I’ve been enjoying having abundant lightโeven at 8 pm.
