a shattered mirror is more reflective

 for every new loaf

a new toaster setting

renga meeting

 medical alert

traces of AI might be found 

during this consultation 

 sometimes it seems

i wake up when i’m asleep

and i’m still asleep

 writing a poem

before the caffeine runs out

now i understand

 recycling collection

outside the doctors surgery 

bags of shredded lives 

 the heart’s aflame

a galaxy of emotions

in the darkness

 when cables snap

and the satellites crash

where will we be then

 morning newspaper

despite all the sad news 

the sky still brightens 

 ten thousand pebbles

telling ten thousand stories 

stormy sea

 it is before dawn

i am putting out the bins

when a robin sings

 snow

the talk is of snow

and springtime
