haiku for COP26

 global heating

greenhouses full of flowers

to warm our graves


in death’s fashion

the protesters’ finery

refinery 


COP26

archbishops and princes

lecture the people


carbon dioxide 

don’t hold your breath

in the forest


overpopulation 

that’s what they all said

about them


a foresight

we’ll all be dead long before

we are


shockingly hot 

growing pumpkin lanterns

for halloween 


trying not to be

cutting the cut’s shortcuts

on a rising tide


it’s not me or you

but them there over there

don’t they understand
