The Metamorphosis of Birds
Beatriz married Henrique on her 21st. Henrique, a sailor, would spend months at sea. Beatriz, ashore, nurtured their six children's roots, having learned from plants' verticality and symmetry. A bird was my father's desire for his oldest son Jacinto (Hyacinth). Beatriz died unexpectedly. My mother died when I was 17 years old, not unexpectedly. When we lost our mothers on that day, my father and I became a father-daughter bond.
