This poem was written for WP5 who are looking at intermediaries, agents of the migration process. It is based on traditional folklore of the little bird (tsenzi) which ancient travellers relied on to escape deep forests when they were lost.
as travellers strive
from origin to destiny
there's a little bird
who sings the forest
in familiar landscape
or don't know the way
there's a little bird
who sings the forest
tired and hungry
worried and thirsty
there's a little bird
who sings the forest
as different truths
fight over her name
there's a little bird
who sings the forest
a medium
connecting to other worlds
there's a little bird
who sings the forest
from ancient times
travellers have known
there's a little bird
who sings the forest
