a butterfly spreads

its wings

raises arms to the sky

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?
