A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z This cuts into Byrd like she’s been ripped by a thorn. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd says, like she has no clue that this fact is the least of Axel’s worries right now. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Axel sees the patch of grass where Byrd likes to do her yoga is now safe for her to sway and breathe. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd’s eyes move from Axel to the phantom snakes lurking in the dugout. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Luckily, Ms. Byrd wasn’t there to catch them sneaking in after a day of playing the blues in the park. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z This was just before Axel and Byrd had made the plan to fly to Frank’s open truck bed when he wanted to get away from annoying things, scary things, unwanted things. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Instead, he doesn’t have to wonder on that thought too long, because it is about an hour until the release, and Byrd is cooking something in the kitchen. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Nearly ready to open up his mouth to the clean air on the other side of the smoke, Byrd does another wrong thing. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z And Clayton fiddled with the folded paper that told the story of Cool Papa Byrd’s life, read by one of Cool Papa Byrd’s brothers. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z “It smells in here,” Axel says, filling in Byrd’s pause. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z His eyes go to the trees, and to Byrd’s garden, young shoots just starting to pop through soil. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “I have a granola bar in here somewhere,” Byrd says, pawing through her pockets. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “I’ll call first thing tomorrow,” Byrd says, still in her whisper voice. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z He reaches the first step before Byrd says, “The plan is we spend more time together.” A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z When Axel was younger, he would find his way into Byrd and Frank’s bedroom nearly every night. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “Axel,” Byrd says, like she isn’t the reason this is all happening. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd relaxes in the doorframe, the doorknob within Axel’s sight. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z The dresser was the resting place for the framed photograph of Cool Papa Byrd, Grandma Irene, and First Guitar. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z The stump from the fallen white pine now holds one of Byrd’s clay planters on top. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z How the house changes day to day, and how Frank and Byrd find time to talk, but Frank hasn’t come to him. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Just like Byrd needs Frank for the house, the eaglet needs Dr. Martin to survive, so why isn’t George calling? A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z It’s nice to think of Byrd this way, rather than the way he felt earlier. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Without cluing in Byrd or even Ray, Axel starts back up the driveway. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z But is it juicy enough to keep Byrd quiet? A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z This is a picture of Byrd closing the book on their family without ever giving Axel a chance to know why. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Ms. Byrd and Mr. Miller seemed completely alien to each other. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z Famous people would point at her—Carole Lombard and Arturo Toscanini and Admiral Byrd. The Heart is a Lonely Hunter 1940-07-29T00:00:00Z Byrd opens the door to her shed like maybe a response is hiding in there. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Now, Byrd tried to make this a rule. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd doesn’t seem bothered by the fact that only one wall has windows. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z It would take a lot more than a shiny Soviet ball and the threat of international disdain to completely break the Byrd organization’s commitment to racial segregation. Hidden Figures 2016-09-06T00:00:00Z Byrd might try to put it in the ground, see if something else could grow in its place. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Emmett giving a hello to family, Byrd ready and willing to help. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z It sounds as if artists like Byrd are being crushed by the weight of the world around them; their music is a cry of anguish, a lamentation. The Story of Music 2012-12-25T00:00:00Z Each week Ms. Byrd and Mr. Miller had the same conversation. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z Axel waits for Byrd to say, “And for our buttervore,” like she usually does when the elbows come to the table, but tonight she’s more interested in fluffing the napkin on her lap. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z He says this one so often, especially when it comes to Byrd and snakes. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “Just adding the word please doesn’t change your tone,” Byrd says. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z When Pasta-palooza was just the five of them, and everyone knew the rules for playing trivia, and Axel got the first big spoonful of the elbows with butter, and Byrd called him her buttervore. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “I mean, the last time we...he...Well, you know about our Willow,” Byrd says. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Not that Axel’s ever been inside it, but he drives past it on the way to school each morning with Byrd. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd knocks her hand against the basement doorframe. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Clayton looked into Cool Papa Byrd’s eyes, to see if Cool Papa still had his eyes on him. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z Ms. Byrd had a low opinion of the blues. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z “Don’t,” Byrd shouts when Axel bolts for the front door. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “They taught themselves to ride the subway,” Byrd continues. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z The Byrd cronies retaliated by diverting taxpayer money to fund whites-only “segregation academies,” private schools founded to circumvent integrated public schools. Hidden Figures 2016-09-06T00:00:00Z Frank stands up, wraps Byrd into a thick hug. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd might not talk about all of the changes in Fairview, but she can always find the words to share with Axel, or anyone else, facts about the environment. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd and George turn to Axel like he’s said something surprising, which is weird because he didn’t even say out loud everything he was feeling. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Axel makes it to his room without any other surprises from Byrd. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z George and Frank working on the barn, or Byrd making mint tea for everyone, or Axel learning to walk on George and Emmett’s front porch. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Ms. Byrd gave them whatever they offered for Cool Papa’s treasures. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z “A Byrd. Belonged to the Byrd family over by the ridge. Near Solomon’s Leap.” Song of Solomon 1977-01-01T00:00:00Z Back to Byrd and Aunt Nancy, talking and sharing, and caring for the earth, well, that’s when they figured out that you can grow a family from more than DNA. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd thinks that they are meant to protect, but that doesn’t seem quite right. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “This stuff is between you and Byrd and that flighty daddy of yours...” A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Likewise the keyboard music of sixteenth-century English composers Thomas Tallis, William Byrd and John Redford, which was originally intended to be sung, was soon adapted, by them and others, into music tailor-made for the virginals. The Story of Music 2012-12-25T00:00:00Z He stands up and offers Byrd his hand, and she stands too. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z This is a plea too, and not like Byrd’s “just get in the car”; more like “let’s go!” A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “You’re old enough to know what could happen to you out there. Suppose instead of, ‘Ms. Byrd, your son has been picked up,’ your mother heard, ‘Ms. Byrd, there’s been an accident.’ Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z “I watched those adults take off at the sound of Byrd’s crooning. That banging pot, too.” A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Ms. Byrd was still angry with Cool Papa. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z As with most things, Ms. Byrd got her way. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z But if Byrd sees it as a miracle, that’s okay, too. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z When he was little and he couldn’t sleep, he’d pad across the hallway from his bedroom to Byrd and Frank’s. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “Don’t,” Byrd says, putting her hand back on Frank’s wrist, like she cares about calming him. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Ms. Byrd peeked inside Clayton’s room but didn’t cross the threshold. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z In the teacup room tonight, Byrd doesn’t mess the blankets, and the house is fine and quiet. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z This is not a simple request, especially not for Byrd. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z It isn’t until a truck comes rumbling up the driveway, throwing dust all over, that Axel hops off the fence and Byrd lets go too. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “When your dad lost his job—” Byrd says. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “He’ll finish things up downstairs,” Axel says, more of a question, but Byrd doesn’t answer. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Ma had heard that the sheriff, Judge Byrd, and some other big bugs had gone back out to look at the tree to try and get ’nough proof to put me away. The Journey of Little Charlie 2018-01-30T00:00:00Z At this they both turn, Frank from the stove top and Byrd with a look on her face like it all just dawned on her, everything all at once. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd shouts, a word she has said three times this morning. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Had enough wood left over to make Byrd’s potting shed. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Instead, he’d be the one to tell his mother Cool Papa Byrd was gone. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z So it isn’t at all surprising, at least to Axel, that Byrd’s flower beds filled with slugs and sunlight are happy spots for the garter snakes. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z This window, made of ten smaller windows, is the only place where Axel and Byrd can look outside from inside. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z You and Byrd have to tell me the truth. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Without realizing it, Axel has followed Byrd from the field back to the fence, back to Frank. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z In a voice that should tell Byrd exactly how this makes him feel. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z For Axel and Byrd to have special dinners with their special friends? A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z And then, almost as predictably as the book, Byrd bursts through their front door. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Eventually, she marched over to the telephone, picked it up, spoke to the caller, and then held out the receiver to Ms. Byrd. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z It’s Byrd, awake, like before when she’d ask, “Want to crawl in?” A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Dr. Martin has plans to make, Axel has eagles to watch in the tree, Lark digs through her own black bag; Byrd does not get a response. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z He doesn’t want to hang on to anger any more than he wants the terrible smell to hang on Byrd, but it is hard to let go of Byrd’s visit to the school today. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd painted the epithet “Communist” on everyone and everything that threatened to upend his view of “traditional” American customs and values, which included white supremacy. Hidden Figures 2016-09-06T00:00:00Z Dr. Martin tosses out orders to Byrd and George. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “Her name is Byrd,” Axel said, loud enough to surprise even himself. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd’s on the dock behind Axel, her tan pants rolled to her knees, a huge hat hiding all but the smile on her face. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “That’s the big question, isn’t it? Sometimes, things just aren’t easy,” Frank says, and he takes one of those big yoga breaths, like maybe Byrd’s had him practice it too. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Waiting, though, was exactly what Virginia’s leading politicians, starting with Senator Harry Byrd, had in mind. Hidden Figures 2016-09-06T00:00:00Z Sing was an Indian or part Indian and her name was Sing Byrd or, more likely, Sing Bird. Song of Solomon 1977-01-01T00:00:00Z His grandfather, of course, was Cool Papa Byrd on blues guitar. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z Byrd can tell them that now Axel knows the truth. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “Axel, it’s great that Byrd knows that you need thinking places,” Dr. Martin says. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z He said that the house was finished enough for Byrd and Axel to move back in. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Like the one that Frank gave Byrd at the dining room table, and like that hug by the muddy pond years ago. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Cool Papa Byrd did what he’d always done after they jammed. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z Though, soon enough, Axel knows, with Byrd’s attention, and the sunlight from the window, those nesting plants will grow up too. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z He emerged from his room, then stood in the hallway, just outside Cool Papa Byrd’s room. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z Byrd said that Ray’s rescue was a miracle and it didn’t seem like that was quite right. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z From the back of Emmett’s SUV, Axel has a clear picture of Byrd and Frank today. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z And so, with Byrd just out of reach, and Frank on the edge, Axel ran from these strangers. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Frank isn’t talking about Ray; he’s talking to Byrd and Dr. Martin and George. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Ms. Byrd and Mr. Miller watched Clayton open the car door and get inside. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z “Byrd just letting him back in that house,” she says. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd shifts from her naughty gloves to Axel in his thinking spot. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z But if it’s okay for Byrd to listen to her instincts, then maybe Axel should listen to his own? A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z So in George and Emmett’s fine, quiet house, with all of Byrd’s secrets out in the open, Axel slams the bedroom door, closing her inside. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Then to Ms. Byrd, he said, “We’ll be a few minutes,” and he closed the door. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z “I want to toast to Frank, but not for the house,” Byrd says. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z It would take one of Byrd’s miracles for Braviary to fly past the window just now, as the three of them look at the sky and the trees and the creek. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd crosses from one side of the truck to the other. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z All his attention turns from Byrd on his wrist to Daniel outside Ms. Dale’s door. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Finally, Byrd—who is still in her pajamas, the green ones with pink polka dots, and her muck boots—says, “Where’s Ray?” A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z After all, the people in the park loved Cool Papa Byrd, and the Bluesmen looked to Cool Papa as a leader. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z Even with nearly six decades between the two Byrds, Clayton and Cool Papa had what Cool Papa called “harmony.” Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z He holds on to Byrd’s simple words, her promise. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z That day, Major Byrd commanded all of us, though he was red with the smallpox; he delivered his orders from a cart pulled by men of our Regiment. The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume II: The Kingdom on the Waves 2009-10-13T00:00:00Z Byrd says, leaning against the doorframe of his room. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “I know that you don’t like change, Axel. But sometimes change is the only way we can move forward,” Byrd says. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Sweet and low so neighbors wouldn’t report them to Ms. Byrd, or to the police for disturbing the peace. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z Frank and Byrd share a quick look, only long enough for Axel to know that there is a longer story behind the look, one that they haven’t told him. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z But Byrd made promises too, that she didn’t keep. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Axel asks, bringing Byrd from his four walls to face him. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd asks, taking the important story and mixing it with something else. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Axel closes his eyes, sees that soggy hug again between Frank and Byrd. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd looks around the field, like maybe her son is talking about nature again. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z The table is crowded again, because the sixth chair is squished next to Byrd again. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Not a tent like Axel’d been in before camping with Byrd and Frank. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z It wasn’t all right that the dude who probably hadn’t washed his thickly packed and matted hair in a month was killing the last of Cool Papa Byrd’s smell with his sweated-up head. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z Byrd pulls lightly on the cover they share. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z He loves to gather words the way Axel loves to gather clues, the way Ray loves to chase squirrels, the way Byrd loves her flowers, and Emmett loves his fancy foods. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z George doesn’t say anything about “money not making the man” like he normally would, or about the fact that Byrd isn’t the only one who needs to get back home. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z With the last of Byrd’s busy movements, Axel returns to his book. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “We’ll take two of whatever,” Byrd says, walking up, Dr. Martin just behind her with an empty basket. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Frank and Byrd are making plans, looking over plans, plans for a house. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd looks back to the wall, like the rest of her sentence might be found splattered against it. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Not the all-out love the people in the park had for Cool Papa Byrd and the Bluesmen. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z On Emmett still on the ground near the nest, on Ray licking at Axel’s hurt leg, on Byrd’s pleading, on Axel standing on his own two feet. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z A send-off wouldn’t be a party without the blues to ferry Cool Papa Byrd on his journey. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z The way that Byrd keeps Axel from knowing the truth. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Bob looked at Ms. Byrd with big, astonished eyes. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z And then Byrd and Frank told Axel the truth about a baby that never got to come home. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z And it hurt even more to think that Byrd knows why, and hasn’t told him. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “Tell me how you really feel,” Byrd says, flopping back into the bed. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z He would return home bearing gifts for Little Miss Byrd and her mother. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z Byrd’s father, who had also been a powerful state politician, had helped fellow Virginian Woodrow Wilson win the White House in 1912. Hidden Figures 2016-09-06T00:00:00Z That one walk down the road when Byrd told him about Frank being reckless. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “One surprise is just behind this door,” Byrd says. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd, frozen in the same spot on the wet floor, looks to George. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z These words, coming from Byrd, cannot be the truth. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z The front door opens, and Byrd steps into the room. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “Got to feel it deep down. In the gut,” Cool Papa Byrd said. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z When the organ played baseball songs, Papa, Mama, and Little Miss Byrd sang along. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z “Damp has a way of getting on everything,” Byrd says. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “I didn’t call her Byrd today,” Axel says.

A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z He doesn’t love the smell of the tiny dugout basement under the cottage, but it keeps him and Byrd protected from high winds and bad storms. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “This is what you want,” Byrd says, like maybe she doesn’t know Axel at all. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z It’s Byrd who looks away first, but it’s Axel who feels her worry. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “Axel,” Byrd says like they haven’t just come to the end of the conversation.

A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z All that Byrd could see then was that Frank’s family tree was dropping branches and leaves, and that she needed to get Axel and Frank and herself to the reunion.

A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Not like back at the car with Byrd and her beeps. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Or as Cool Papa Byrd would have said, “Man, they were shipshape.” Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z His feet sunflower yellow, like the color of the ones that grow in Byrd’s garden, and each dotted with a black talon. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Byrd pulls the covers to her side of the bed. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Axel grabbed for Byrd, but she was just out of reach. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “I know how you feel about storms,” Byrd says.

A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z “But it’s safe for Byrd and Axel to stay in tonight.” A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Axel thinks about Byrd at the table with the toast for Frank, and the way she said in his bedroom last night, “Frank’s coming back.” A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Like maybe Axel doesn’t know the whole truth of the things that happened between Byrd and Frank, and maybe—no, definitely—he doesn’t know what happens next. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Though Byrd, too, is a creature of habit sometimes.

A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z If Byrd needs a clue, this is the ultimate one to just leave Axel alone.

A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z It isn’t until much later in the day, after Byrd asks Axel to “please drink something.” A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z From then on, Cool Papa Byrd taught Clayton to blow the harmonica out to make it shout, and to draw in his breath to make it shudder or chug like a train. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z It must be that just like Byrd, Ms. Dale doesn’t trust Axel to handle the drill well enough on his own.

A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z If Axel expects Byrd to tell the truth, to speak up, to keep promises, then he must do the same.

Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z Before Axel can even think of answering, Byrd changes her mind.

A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Ms. Byrd glared at the bag and its contents. Clayton Byrd Goes Underground 2017-05-09T00:00:00Z One, of course, is that Byrd is right. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z Only, maybe it isn’t what’s outside that’s the miracle at all, maybe Byrd and Frank and Axel being right here, inside this place right now, is miracle enough. A Bird Will Soar 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z For a moment, he lets his brain hope that if the time were ticking near the release, Byrd would have come to wake him.
