8 micropoems
poverty in a tired garden
is hidden under the first snow
you remain silent and pretend
to be offended
it’s time to harvest potatoes
the stone sinks
into the ocean under
this autumn rain
I burn letters
every winter
waiting for miracle
the broken mirror of the river
but who’s there on the bottom
the moon is praying
and the priest too
last fallen leaves sing
snowflakes die
under boots
mom picked
raspberries in a basket
berries but not summer
