Tiger In a Maii Display

Tiger In A Mall Display resignation oh green eyed one? lounging against bars of clinical steel; sanitized sawdust laps against enormous paws. faux velvet roping red as blood stays the many gawkers from your gleaming fangs. a presence greater than thunder in the Sumatran mountains colour clear, rich, black and orange you glow in the imaginings of popcorn munching sodaswilling, screeching younglings pointing most rudely at your regal self. ah…but in the jungle they would be meat, a meal to break your fast, soothe your bellies hunger growls. in the jungle, you were monarch flowing through sun dappled depths silent, immortal. oh noble lord none of your kin, not females, milky mothers, capricious kits, nor sires roam the wild seven thousand years ago you disappeared leaving us in silence and shame.
