My New Year’s First Sunset

Day one of no regrets
For two thousand and twenty-five
My celebratory sunset
Contrives to stay alive
Blessing the twilight sky
With clouds of golden knives
That stunningly silhouetted
The hovering magpies

To Find a Higher Gear


Disabled and discarded
Demoted to the outback paddock

My dimpled shell is flaky and sun-burnt
and masks a cracked and dormant engine block

Vanquished wheels are deflated and threadbare
and my rusty axles are twisted and brittle

Hardly strong enough
to carry my dilapidated body

The new year is nearly here
Am I worth restoring?
Am I able to find a higher gear?
