Happy

photo of the crater at Mount Eden in Auckland, as seen from the summit

High, we find ourselves
so ecstatically drunk
on fresh mountain air.

Extend

photo of a giant fig tree's trunk and roots sprawled on the ground

Fisher seeks fresh food,
casting a line far and wide,
giant tree does, too.

Scatter

photo of the sky, full of tiny clouds scattered all over

Thoughts scattered like clouds
lingering in sleepy towns
wistful wandering

Point of view

Photo of wispy, orange clouds at sunset, as seen through a plane’s window seat.

While life feels hazy;
everything’s out of reach—
it’s sunset on air.

Solo

Close up photo of a small sunflower with a back ant on one of its petals.

Bravely singular,
an ant on a sunflower
in an empty field.
