Goodbye

Close up photo of a flower with dried and crumbling petals.

Sorry you’re dying
beautiful little flower;
say hi to my mum.

Blur

Photo of the rain drops on an airplane window with the ground, wings, and lights in the background, blurry.

On, we yearn to fly,
our pasts are a bit blurry;
rain drops on windows.

Making space

photo of a crane in a construction site, with clouds scattered just above the crane

Lifting up our clouds
paving way for more concrete—
cranes in our cities.

Felled

Photo of a pine tree as seen from below.

Dreaming of the skies
we run amongst giant trees
felling them for gains.

Naked

photo of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House on a partly cloudly winter morning — Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, Sydney

Sans make up, sans bling,
when the paparazzi leaves
Harbour Bridge remains.
