Goldfinch (illustrated by Nicole Ingram)

As Master Li travels across the desert as part of his exile, he recalls how things used to be when he was a child.

He remembers that “birds of a thousand colors danced in the sky.”

In the afternoon, the goldfinch would sing “We are who we choose to be.”

The goldfinch appear in Sandman # 74 on page 1 in panel 2.
