Snow falls down
Onto the soft ground
'come dear, come dear'
Oba-chan calls.
'Ka-san, Ka-san'
She was missing.
'Where is ka-san?'
The words unanswered.
'Come dear, Come dear'
She kept calling.
'Ka-san left, dear'
She kept calling.
The snow stopped.
My heart soft.
My eyes widened.
'Ka-san, Ka-san'
'Come dear, Come dear.
look what I have here.'
Oba-chan called.
Package behind her.
'Ka-san, ka-san!'
was all that was heard.
'Please dear, look into. . .
The mirror.'
It was large and red.
It was staring back at me.
It had no tears, no eyes.
It called 'Bo-chan, ojo-chan.'
In the snow, oba-chan left.
My eyes gazed to my Nii-chan.
'Bo-chan, Ojo-can.'
It called.
Step into the red mirror.
Come in for adventure.
Follow the snow path.
Be sure to come back.
'bo-chan, ojo-chan'
'come dear, come dear'
'ka-san, ka-san'
She left.
