Entrance

Photo of a ship coming into Sydney harbour at sunrise.

Noses up in air,
pushing through the horizon,
ships arrive at port.

Under appreciated

Photo of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge across the water, with a large fig tree canopy overhead.

Unfazed by the world,
extravagant monuments:
trees by city lakes.

Peace

panoramic photo of a wild canopy of Moreton Bay fig trees on Hyde Park in Sydney — Hyde Park, Sydney

I gawk at the skies:
it peeks through wild canopies;
heaven in cities.

Bold

Photo of the widespread branches of a tree, as seen from below its canopy.

Spreading tentacles
across the ocean blue sky,
assertive old tree.

Rise

Photo of a plane’s wing as it lands, with the wing flaps engaged.

Stretching lazy limbs,
cracking joints and waking up,
overnight plane lands.
