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.

Showing off

Photo of a South Australian beach in other a single four-wheel drive car facing the photographer, with the water on the left side of the driver.

A movie hero
strutting to his own music—
big car on a beach.

True or false

Photo of a road through a mountain as seen from the top, luscious greenery visible only the other side of the road.

The road stretches on,
green grass on the other side—
the trick of promise.
