when you choose to stay

only in silence

sitting over a cloud

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?

Endless crowd on urban street

Heading nowhere
