The Eyes of a Panther

I looked up into the eyes of a panther
she looked enraged and ready to eat
a carnivore who could eat our flesh pre-kill
her opulent eyes were unnerving and terrifying;

a slow smile came to her lips
I felt like prey
where would I run? how long would the chase take?
Big cats break your back and start with your head.
