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…

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

the night is prolonged

at last, I turn off

Endless crowd on urban street

Heading nowhere
