a haiku set for Elizabeth Roxas-Dobrish who returned to the stage yesterday to perform Revelations.

--Elizabeth Roxas-Dobrish on dancing Alvin Ailey's Revelations again at age 55.
the new year begins
with the same rising sun...
me in the mirror
(Serbian Translation
pocinje Nova Godina
s istim izlazecim suncem…
ja u ogledalu
