Carmel Summers

that day we climbed
Snowdonia’s famous peak
through the mist…
afterwards scrolling online
we see the view we missed

Wales

a hole repaired
in the gable of my house
then regret…
will that rosella family
find a new safe home

Canberra, ACT

weathered tree trunk
its skeletal fingers
twisted by time –
ageing gracefully
was never her option
