Go well, dear white clouds
bravely chasing the full sun—
scorching, I crave shade.

Bright

Photo of the sunset’s glow as seen from the window of the plane, with the light in halo around the plane’s engine.

The horizon’s bright:
my flight is a metaphor;
adventurer’s life.

Tourist

Photo of Auckland’s Sky Tower, lit up in multiple colours at sunset, along with the traffic on the motorway below.

A city decks up
lights, camera, and action—
tourists drop their jaws.

Achievements

Photo of the moonrise, surrounded by tall buildings and trees.

Rising high above,
overshadowing our moon—
human construction.

Moonlighting

Lighting our city
glowing down from a great height
Sky Tower moonlights
