Magnet

Photo of a cloudy sky, with clouds milling around the sun and blue patches in between them.

The great convergence:
partly cloudy summer’s day,
great magnet, the sun.

Flying roos

Photo of the wing of a Qantas domestic plane, and the tail of a larger Qantas plane beside each other. The Qantas logos are visible on both.

Flying kangaroos:
big sister goes overseas,
small one explores home.

Banish

photo of suspended white tube lights as seen from below, at the Singapore airport

Suspended lightbulbs:
darkness is a pendulum,
banishing brightness.

Morning

close up photo of a small bunch of yellow and white daisies on the sidewalk

It’s sunny side up;
tiny daisies on the street—
a cracking morning.

Fog

Photo of a plane’s wing, flying through mild fog, as seen through the plane’s window.

I wake to engines—
inside, my brain fog clears up,
outside it descends.
