New Year’s Day – Jour de l’An

dernier soir de l’an –
à la lueur de la pleine lune
neige silencieuse

last night of the year –
in the full moon light
silence of the snow

nursing home –
still believing she will

in the morning
hunters invade the woods—
from the first shots
leaves begin to fall
in silent prayer
