Photo of the Adelaide Town hall, with a giant red bow on its facade — Adelaide Town Hall, a concert venue

and costumed santas.

photo of the Matagarup Bridge in Perth as seen while walking under it — Matagarup Bridge, Perth

Intricate metal,
stretched across the horizon,
of concrete jungle.

Fed by sun and rain—
feeding gold honeyeaters—
bright bottlebrushes.

Storm clouds gathering,
taking off against the wind—
child leaves parents’ home.
