Sun on my fur
scents on the air
Birds chirp, wheel and zip!
Leaves crackle and blow
I am instinct and action
blood and bone
no quarter given
the thrill of chase
capture and consume
I am lithe, elegant and graceful
Quirky, goofy and ridiculous
the crook of my tail
the tilt of my head
the swiveling of my ears
immutable
irreverent
inscrutable
My coat is invisible
my eyes disappear
Tiger!
Lion!
Cheetah!
I am all
and I am none
but I was briefly
