prayer for rechargeable batteries
and fastness and coffee mornings
for raffle tickets and crisp stereo sound
for power banks and batch cooking
prayer for beer-tapas at my local pub
and for average speed limits
for goodenoughness at school reunions
and metastatic anonymity online
prayer for microphones and bespoke
for three-in-one and all other numerals
for Karen from Home Deliveries
and her quick recovery from sick leave
prayer for perhaps and passwords
for stopping mid-sentence and for
everything else that is temporary
apart from betrayal
prayer for scissors and
for a long-distance relationship
with my past life
