Unknown

Photo of the flight path map in a plane travelling from Australia to New Zealand across the Tasman sea.

Teetering on edge:
moving to a new country;
jumping off a cliff.

Zen boat

Photo of an Auckland ferry approaching the dock, with other smaller boats in the background. — Auckland ferry

Hanging out at sea—
grounded but head in the clouds,
boats live the zen life.

Sunning

Photo of a row of leafless trees on the side of the road, on a partly cloudy day.

Warming their bare wings,
deciduous trees line up—
late-winter sunshine.

Blur

Photo of the rain drops on an airplane window with the ground, wings, and lights in the background, blurry.

On, we yearn to fly,
our pasts are a bit blurry;
rain drops on windows.

Naked

Sans make up, sans bling,
when the paparazzi leaves
Harbour Bridge remains.
