"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

A pupa (Latin: pupa, "doll"; plural: pupae) is the life stage of some insects undergoing transformation between immature and mature stages. The pupal stage is found only in holometabolous insects, those that undergo a complete metamorphosis, with four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and imago.
Latin: Imago (Engl. Image)
