Focus

Photo of the top of Skycity in Auckland, as seen while walking down a dirt track on a volcanic hill.

Walking the dirt track
focused on glitz and glamour—
small snake slithers past.

Propel

Photo of a small plane’s propellers, as seen through the window of the plane.

All the world’s a plane
we’re strapped in a window seat
propelling through life.

Judgement

photo of a steep hill and trees growing diagonally on it

I clamber uphill;
raising judgmental eyebrows,
rolling their eyes—trees

Home

Photo of the landscape of Wellington, New Zealand, at sunset, as seen from the window of a plane. — Wellington, New Zealand

We bicker for Mars,
fawn over the red planet;
sun kissed land is here.

Noncommittal

photo of private boats by the shore in Wellington, New Zealand.

Ships at the ready,
lined up on our city’s shores;
neutral hobbyists.
