Is it possible tigers
   imagine flying
above the plane
   where the hunt
seen from higher
   appears small
even while instinct
tethers to that old
   any way you can
belly-full of flesh?

There are places
   in the garden
   to hear voices
in branching trees
   still in tall grass
   praying with paws
where home is found
   only by degrees
through a singing species
   soothing the beast
daring to take flight
   in that great rise
forward from each.
