​The Finger Bird
 
 
When our daughter was five
my father invented the finger bird.
Creature of one too many
birthdays, Christmases
New Years spent apart
it flew up into his hands
with the gusto of a new species
sprung from joyful Borneos.
Just outside her sight lines
he’d play it, meaty thumb and index
tip to tip tap tapping
a silent lingo she caught the drift of
instinctively and ran with it
feathers streaming 
through ecstasies of giggles
to this place now where aged sixteen
fingers flashing she talks to him
in sign languages
that private, long distance connection
irreversibly open.
