the forest has a different tale to tell after the rain
common scarlet, female (2023)
macro shot of a female, common scarlet, perched at the edge of a branch (Singapore, 2023)
shot with the Olympus TG6, pro capture mode
first light the ways of the flesh comes into focus
all the ways we could have drowned but we chose to stay
autumn before dawn the quiet reeks of violence
break the cycle when the last kid drops the gun for a book
ceasefire when the last soul has let go of vengeance and hate
the storm outside uploading self to the darkest cloud
in bed dreaming of quiet tones of grey
