Flight

Photo of the sunset on a bed of clouds in the horizon, as seen from a plane.

Flying at sunset
I sleep amongst the heavens—
a pillow of clouds.

Awakening

Photo of the Melbourne outskirts as seen from the window seat of a plane that’s starting its descent.

I’m diving head first,
ground rises up to meet me—
we land; nightmare ends.

Lightseeker

Reflection of the photographer and the Qantas signboard on an airport glass wall, with a plane on the tarmac outside visible through the glass, and the strap of a backpack on the foreground.

Buzzing airport lights;
seeking a different high,
solo traveller.

Trees of life

Photo of the Western Australia landscape as seen from the window of a plane. Green forests appear as patches in the desert.

Tiny blobs of life
coloured green, outside the lines,
trees keep us nourished.

Build

Photo of multiple high-storey buildings as seen from the top floor of another high-storey building.

We make those buildings
constellation defying,
masking our night skies.
