Magnet

Photo of a cloudy sky, with clouds milling around the sun and blue patches in between them.

The great convergence:
partly cloudy summer’s day,
great magnet, the sun.

Flying roos

Photo of the wing of a Qantas domestic plane, and the tail of a larger Qantas plane beside each other. The Qantas logos are visible on both.

Flying kangaroos:
big sister goes overseas,
small one explores home.

Banish

photo of suspended white tube lights as seen from below, at the Singapore airport

Suspended lightbulbs:
darkness is a pendulum,
banishing brightness.

Auckland

Photo of private boats in the ocean, as seen from Auckland city.

The city of sails—
a fleet awaits instructions,
dully fog descends.

Fog

Photo of a plane’s wing, flying through mild fog, as seen through the plane’s window.

I wake to engines—
inside, my brain fog clears up,
outside it descends.
