Tiger Star take 8

the crossings out are my current thoughts on what should be in


Tiger, shine star bright, (shifty) dream time in forest light.

Potently patient, sated; he observes.
Now is his time; no yesterday,
no tomorrow; only today.
Melded, welded to the fiery forests
he waits, silent, staring, breathing.

Dark yawning, his velcroed tongue lollops red between filed incisors,
pale belly upturned, stretched, a kitten demanding affection.
A twitching paw, he knows the momentum of movement
required to succeed, that moment; the pinnacle of pouncing precision.

He will appear. Sometime, later,
A veiled arrival, stealthily seeking
from nowhere, a pacing, racing, destroyer.
Marauding Demise in a striped dressing gown.
Marauding Demise dressed in a striped nightgown.
