The short paper is devoted to the difference equation in the title with \(\alpha\geq1\) and \(k=0,1,\ldots\). Using some theorems by \textit{R.~DeVault}, \textit{W.~Kosmala} et al. [Nonlinear Analysis 47, 4743--4751 (2001)] the authors obtain a few simple results on asymptotic behavior of positive solutions. In particular, if \(\alpha>1\) then for any \(k\) a unique equilibrium point \(\bar{x}=\alpha+1\) is globally asymptotically stable; if \(k\) is odd and \(\bar{x}\) is locally asymptotically stable then \(\alpha>1\); the equation has a prime period two solution iff \(\alpha=1\) and \(k\) is odd.
