Before the war
Between Feather and
Fur
Our family was intact
Playing the music of the softness of fur
and the airiness of feather
Just one day..a single day… before the war

Colin of fur Douglas brother of feather and faithful friend
Read each other not through words
But through the music of their hearts
Beating as fur will…beat
Beating as feather will…beat
Beating as a Faithful Friend will…beat

Question: “ Will you?”
“Yes”
“Always?”
“Yes”

“Will you even lend me your feathers to
Weave together a song if I need them?”
“Yes.”

“and because you will , I will always try to understand your language no matter how…

..no matter how feathery and off of property it seems”
Douglas sat down to consider that statement
For a minute
![Page 11: Before the War](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051501/5884bbcf1a28ab34778b5933/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“I mean it” says Colin
“I feel you “ said Douglas

“ Sing this back to me
Feather for
Feather “
”

The next day
The war came
And fur and feathers flew
And
Douglas was killed
Douglas died
And Colin was knocked off of his legs
![Page 14: Before the War](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051501/5884bbcf1a28ab34778b5933/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Colin could not
Eat
Sleep
Drink
or
Get himself
up on his legs
and out to the mailbox
to put a stop on Douglas’ mail

But strangely during the
Minutes that he began to sleep
He dreamed of Douglas singing
Holding out a feather
Balancing on his fingertip
Like a tiny dancer
