Causes ripples

The water returns to stillness

A flame is lit

Sparking into life

Darkness ebbs away

snow tumbles, gathers

into popcorn balls on shrubs

please—hold the butter!

only in silence

February Moons

a breeze

of snowflakes —

I search for

the scientific term

for stardust

fairy-tales —

sitting over a cloud

a water lily

a butterfly spreads

its wings

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?
