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.

Fear

photo of the beach, with a person's foot in the foreground, covered in sand

Sand between my toes
a lifetime’s waves in my eyes—
fear dividing us.

Fit

Photo of a tall residential building in the Singapore CBD, as seen from a bus window.

Sliding into place
Lego pieces made to fit—
city skyscrapers.

Rise

first colours of sunrise above the clouds, as seen from a plane's window

Glimpse into heaven;
groggy, I wake to the voice—
morning, says pilot.
