New Beginning

And so he gave the child
an invisible bird
To sit on her shoulder
The child grew up
not knowing of its presence
only in silence
would she hear a faint birdsong
Years ahead
actually, cat lives later
the child, who was no longer a child,
looked at her mirrored image
As she stared into herself
she began to see a glimmer of colors
moving in a pendulum
catching the light in milliseconds
And so it seemed
that the girl had transformed
into the bird
