presuming

Ida played her wonder-horn to rock the baby still-- but never watched

So the goblins came. They pushed their way in and pulled baby out, leaving another, all made of ice

Poor Ida never knowing, hugged the changeling and she murmured, "How I love you."

The ice thing only dripped and stared, and Ida Mad knew goblins had been there

"They stole my sister away, she cried!" "To be a nasty goblin's bride!" Now Ida in a hurry

snatched her Mama's yellow rain cloak, tucked her horn safe in a pocket, and made a serious mistake.

She climbed backwards out her window into outside over there. . .

feed puppies

just little games of the girls
who want thoroughly remould themselves

large slippers, solarize into rouge

and the bikini with mom's fantastic embroidery

I used to step on those round ladders

just remember

six thick clouds at that time

the girl who ever dreamed
can't help but has left unforgettable
first love on the bridge

confidant turns back head and look

that sweat without any result

at last, stay in heart and blossom

it's so good to come to this world

there is only blue sky while swaying

is it who let us flow with the wind

the one hugs me are happiness and grief

every taste during the return way

protecting my former days as my father

elapsing with the wind day by day

it is you

facing the fragility of myself
the favor becomes so natural

but, but, when could achieve my wishes

I, have nothing to wish

if it comes, I'd like to accept it either
