Tigress
Downtrodden, heavy steps
make lambent sounds
for calculated leaps
prying, hunting, terrorizing
Your coat of fire
worn with scars
and fiery prowess
veiled in feline grace
Your purrs, your roars
are eloquent songs
that the jungle resonates
as it ablaze in your colours
Hide and sleuth,
search and hunt,
and when you find it
slaver mad and proud
Because you paid
to raze your blazing drape -
The vitriol of your weaknesses
should not be staid.
