Foreshadow

Photo of the sun rising from behind the Rio Tinto building (amongst others) in the Perth CBD. — Perth city

The sun shines over
new Rio Tinto building;
calm before the storm.

Easy as

Photo of the Perth CBD at sunrise, empty of people. — Perth city on a Sunday morning.

Echoes of laughter,
the city is hungover;
Sunday morning stroll.

Adventurous

Photo of a tree with its tops in bright autumn colours and leaves in the middle still green.

Newly-found freedom:
hair colour experiments;
autumn is a teen.

Fault in our lines

The veins of our world,
well hidden from human touch—
fault lines in Southland.

Mother

Photo of a hill, carpeted with greenery, on a hiking trail in Christchurch, New Zealand.

You’d think the earth’s fine,
carpeted in greenery;
she’s shaking inside.
