Slow

close up photo of a sunflower bud

Sun in a flower,
peers gingerly through petals:
slow awakening.

Settling down

photo of the sun setting behind a large tree and old houses

Behind old concrete,
magnificent retirement—
sun in a time loop.

Humid

Photo of the early orange colours of the sunrise behind tropical trees.

Four o’clock sunrises:
fogging up my camera,
Brisbane humid air.

Hazy

Photo of the sunset in the horizon, as seen from the window seat of a plane that’s making a sharp turn.

Sunset’s all a blur,
the heavens are falling through:
sharp turns on a plane.

Habits

Photo of a person’s hand scrolling through the phone, while the person’s sat in the driver’s seat of a stationary car. The morning sun amines into the car, onto the person’s hand.

Morning ritual:
syncing music on Bluetooth—
sun smiles down at us.
