he licks his lips as they run
faster and faster

I don't know the story, but your poem (read in isolation) has a dark edge. Nice.

I remember the sounds of the jungle and all the different animals but none as impressive as Shere Khan the tiger. This story has had many changes to it over the years. I always found it so entertaining. A wonderful haiku Jack. : ) 7
