Standing up to time,
butterfly-winged spring petals,
blooming in winter.

Home ground
Every branch a home—
corellas, galas, magpies:
a family tree.
Seasonal wear
Bark as bold as brass,
the bald and the beautiful—

if the silver we pine for,
are gum trees only.
Wintervention
Fireball in the sky,
showering the world with sparks,
warm up for winter.
