Poem
"The Silkworm’s Birthday" Mulberry leaves flutter in the breeze Kookaburra brave Joker bluffs a sky blue breast Drops one feather for a quill, a song hidden in a laugh, no bitter pill magic never rests, like a crystal prism spinning in light, magic reflects While a black cat purrs sleekly close by in the prickly pineapple patch A child with a sharp clawed heart punches holes in a cardboard shoebox lid, she simultaneously watches her fat friends chew on their green stories squishy and velvet skinned while three fairies watch their Queen of Hearts lose and win They feast on Grandfather's Jersey Caramels, and from "Her" garden fresh passionfruit pulp, wild strawberries and cream while she sews dreams like pearls into royal robes for them on her Spitfire Singer Sewing Machine leaving a silver line embroidered in the Watching Child's memory Where Golden Silk Cocoons are spun, into a puzzle of a story with alternative outcomes, in future dimensions She stitches in her insignia this she leaves as her sign, the departing Monarch Queen for later, when they are pupae chewing through imago For birthday girl All her love stitched in rhymes singing through from L to G Minor, gifted, the inheritance - K is for karma, K is for kind Like a bird linnet hums like a Hummingbird Strings and Organ, Albinoni’s Adagio Barber’s Agnes Dei and Lara's Theme like hidden angels sing an invisible guardian watches on without agenda Soft as a freedom falling blue feather A heart floats silently smiling always unseen watching a Silkworm spin a life from imago’s story and a Monarch Queen's dream The Golden Chord is always spun continually between two kingdoms watching her prodigy dream big and live glowing chrysalis spreading wings Transformation In "Her" children Live all "Her" dreams (LadyLabyrinth/2019) 18.9 ljb - gvlm mlb,klb,llb, j, a, i, t Running Up that Hill/Meg Myers https://youtu.be/N7iVWK2W48o Albinoni – Adagio in G Minor https://youtu.be/GuNoTsQ_wjg Samuel Barber – Agnus Dei https://youtu.be/AiuC_CaObbI Allegri – Miserere mei, Deus https://youtu.be/36Y_ztEW1NE A pupa (Latin: pupa, "doll"; plural: pupae) is the life stage of some insects undergoing transformation between immature and mature stages.
