the sound of snow
before falling
ivy leaves
the painful intertwining
of my memories
breakfast table
she don't remember
her favorite tea
childhood memories
talking with
my imaginary dolls

every morning
without your smile
cold wind

of fallen leaves

remembering the days
of last winter
leaf in the wind
tonight i too
am alone

the bitter taste
of my past
empty bowl
I rewrite our story
from the beginning
winter trail
the white noise
of snow
gecko in the shade…
a long summer
again
falling stars …
the silent prayer
of a mother
