Bleeding hearts

photo of a sunset in Auckland.

If the blood of innocents
seeped through continental plates,
dripped into our winter sunsets—
would they still be pretty?

Blessed

Photo of a jade plant with a spider’s web cooling around it and the sunset streaming through it.

Holding on to hope
spider coexists with plants
blessed by the sunset

Magnificent

Photo of the setting sun just visible from the top of a hilly road, looking down on the ocean.

Magnificent sun
watching over our city
photographer clicks

Party

Photo of the sun set behind a row of leafless trees, as seen from across the street.

Sunsets winter nights
rows of trees and disco lights
gang’s here to party

Blush

Photo of a high rise building with the setting sun’s light reflecting on it.

Cold concrete blushes;
with a light kiss on the face
the sun bids farewell.
