a leafless tree

raises arms to the sky

praying for peace

On this first morning

the year stretches itself out

like a cat’s nine lives…

Resa Alboher

I clip recipes…


As snowflakes fall I wonder


about my whole life…

Resa Alboher

Reading the future

in the fireplace’s flames…

How long will I live?

cawing in its black voice

veiled morning—

the night is prolonged

with chatter
