there
was
a
panther
in
a
little
zoo
15
minutes
away
from
the
small
town
i
used
to
live
in
.
they
kept
it
in
an
environment
so
unhealthy
and
insufficiently
exotic
that
my
eight
year
old
eyes
burst
into
tears
every
time
i
saw
it
.

His
hair
is
black
,
like
the
slick
coat
of
a
panther.
His
skin
is
the
dark
shade
of
warm
loaves
of
bread
.
His
eyes
are
heavy
brown
almonds
that
fall
from
towering
canopies.
He
is
natural
,
as
few
things
are
,
made
from
the
earth
itself
.
He
could
have
risen
from
a
grave
(
if
bodies
were
buried
without
caskets
and
the
thick
browned
soil
wove
its
fibers
,
giving
rebirth
to
a
human
form
).
He
is
elemental
and
pure
-
I'm
sure
his
hands
are
composed
of
minerals
the
earth
began
its
work
on
before
a
diamond
had
ever
formed.

If
I
had
one
,
I'd
paint
him
pink
.
Wait
,
that's
cruel
...
I'd
dress
him
in
pink
.
Wait
,
that's
pretty
cruel
as
well
.

like
the
night
sky

i
had
a
mini
-panther..or
so
my
young
eyes
saw
..and
my
little
panther
was
the
bravest
of
them
all
.
and
this
little
wild
thing
was
called
sassy
.
she
filled
the
word
so
greatly,
i
never
knew
it
could
hold
so
much
volume
for
me
in
these
later
years
