Black jaguar
Ronald Tirino 1962 (NYC)
Black jaguar
Solitary loner sleek stealth
and glossy black
Behind its velvet vemeer
against the fading moon
silver yellow glowing eyes
reflect its inner soul
slowing stillness of wispering breaths
in the distance moves like shadows
across the jungle in the thickness of the forest
leaving footprints in the sand
is all that’s left to show was there
