Common

Tethered together,
warring, despite shared borders
and a spinal cord.

Home

Photo of a gumtree with peeling skins and raggedy branches

A cacophony:
twigs, dry leaves-bearing branches—
building a bird’s nest.

Life support

Oxygenating,
permeating through the air—
trees grow us humans.

Fresh

close up photo of Acacia glaucoptera, a native Western Australia flower shrub with green leaves and bright yellow globular flowers — Acacia glaucoptera, endemic to Western Australia.

Outlandish beauty:
summer walk in the garden—
lemon-kale salad.

Past

photo of the old post office in the Adelaide CBD, built in 1866

I face history,
the grand and once glorious—
its novelty gone.
