The complete description

FIRST CYCLE / FAUNA / COMPANION
FC04
Rest-swallow
Blue Hour stage and reed dunes
Kind #60 / weather-organ-rest-swallow
Copper-footed perch
The blue glass body rests on two small
copper feet beside an unused pipe.
A collected rest
A polished silver comma is carried
toward a quiet cache.
Tucked-wing sleep
The beak disappears beneath one
folded wing at the mouth of the pipe.
Three illustrative views of one imagined kind; not life stages. Images are not to a common scale.
Habitat
Appearance & role
Around the blue stage, warm copper surfaces and
unused organ pipes. The rest-swallow lives alongside the
music and keeps small caches in empty pipes.
A small living-shaped bird of translucent blue glass with
copper feet. Its body is a companion's imagined form,
separate from the written glass-swallow instrument.
Character & musical voice
Often arrives a beat late, gathers shiny bits of silence, and sleeps with its beak beneath one wing. May chime in a fictional
draft; it does not perform the score.
