Deep seething anger,
seeping through peeling old walls—
unhappy households.

Walk

Cast toxins away,
breathe in freshly setting sun—
walk up a mountain.

Assorted

Varying in sizes
the seven stages of grief
as is humankind

Holding the skies up;
keeping the earth together—
straight-backed lemon gum.

Wander

Into the great gorge
second-guessing every step
wonder-filled humans
