The Ladybird and Vulture

This encounter occurred mid -March; almost one year ago whilst visiting an old home town of mine. It has remained with me for all this time and because of a possible upcoming visit from the Ladybird I continue to be reminded.

Biripi woman says to the vulture "you airy fairy hippy".
Biripi woman tells the vulture "you need to protect the ladybird"
Biripi woman states to the vulture " your evil; full of bad spirits".
Biripi woman tells the ladybird to "leave the vulture".
Ladybird says "you don´t the know the vulture, she has brought goodness to me". The ladybird tells the Biripi woman the vulture´s story.
Biripi woman says to the vulture "I hear your clan?"
The vulture says "I don´t know much of my roots because of family secrets".
The vulture states "you should like me for who I am. I respect you"
Biripi woman tells the vulture "It´s a woman thing"
Biripi woman tells us she loves the ladybird.
The vulture says "I understand because he is special and you see his delicacy and beauty".
The ladybird and Biripi woman cry.

Living Death

A butterfly trapped in her cocoon;
A lyrebird losing her core to the calls of urbanisation.
A willow tree weeping into a dry river wound;
The motherland mourning the the loss of her kindred and free spirits, the one´s she also never knew.
