Reality

Photo of the islands of Singapore as seen from an airplane window.

Just beyond our reach
small pockets of greenery;
rising sea levels.

Battle of the skies

Photo of a row of airplanes on the tarmac, as seen through the window of another plane.

Little planes prepare
to face up to Ouranos;
airborne infantry.

Hope

Photo of the sunset on the runway, as seen through the glass window of an airport. There’s an aircraft on the runway and a ground vehicle. The airport’s seating area is reflected on the glass.

I watch the sunset;
airport waiting area
promises sunrise.

Going away

leaf-less trees lining a single road in a village with the sun seting in the horizon

Far away from here,
into the depths of sunset—
wanderlusting heart.

Left behind

Photo of the lush greenery as seen from the window of a plane, its wing visible in the photo.

We take to the skies
aim for the dark depths of space
dismissing what’s here.
