radio news 

bang bang .. help help

an earthquake 

 a thought came to me

in the shower of your words

i wondered also

 well hot dog

unable to sleep

i count motorbikes 

 hot hot hot

we have tried every chair

the cat and i 

 sadly

swatting the horsefly

i see my blood 

 love slips in between sips of our coffee

 two emojis

knitting a sweater

drop a stitch

 hot

a magpie berates

our fat cat

 heat dome 

pouring the sun

from the red tea pot

 calm bay

the boat up in the sky

is called hazy days

 

• hot pursuit

a sparrow outpaced 

by a dragonfly 

 a seer

sees a sneer

and smiles
