Network

Photos of leafless trees in a garden, their limbs crossing each other.

A network of trees
supporting one another,
against human drills.

Joy

Photo of a wattle tree’s branch leaning into a walking track.

Little yellow bulbs,
lean into my walking track,
remind me to spring.

Head first

Close up photos of the leaves of a red gum tree.

Earthy, floral smells—
hiking in this bush country;
my walk in wardrobe.

Sunning

Photo of a row of leafless trees on the side of the road, on a partly cloudy day.

Warming their bare wings,
deciduous trees line up—
late-winter sunshine.

Seasons

Close up photo of a wattle tree branch and the winter afternoon sun filtering through it.

Filters through dense fog:
little rebel winter sun,
springs into wattle.
