Yumika in Wonderland
I’m throwing silken rainbows
out the window
of my Pine tree home
fishing squirrels
we’ve baited the lines
with SpongeBob stickers
Yumika’s never seen a squirrel
she’s six and doesn’t believe squirrels
really exist, perhaps we’ll catch
a serpent or a sea dragon
she pops another piece of fairy floss
into her mouth – the second last one
Quick as a thimble comes a tug
on the line and carefully
we haul it up, color by color
wow, not one squirrel
but two baby ones
I snap my camera
Yumika in wonderland
teaching squirrels
how to glue SpongeBob stickers
into an album and feeding them
scraps of fairy floss
