Mother

Photo of a hill, carpeted with greenery, on a hiking trail in Christchurch, New Zealand.

You’d think the earth’s fine,
carpeted in greenery;
she’s shaking inside.

Care

photo of a person watering the plants at the Singapore international airport, with words on the back of his t-shirt reading, 'plants make people happy'

Some water, some food,
delivered daily with care;
humans and their plants.

Disappear

Photo of the Adelaide coast line seen faintly from the window of a plane.

All our worldly things:
jewels, utes, and high rises—
fade in the distance.

Travel bug

Photo of the sunlight glinting on a building in the Singapore CBD.

Sparkle in my eye,
the smell of a new city,
skip of a heart beat.

Bygones

Photo of an old, Indian-style building on the streets of the Singapore CBD. — The neighbourhood of Little India in the Singapore city.

Those bygone eras:
faded shades, vintage arches,
small pockets; big hearts.
