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
.

i

than
talk

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

he
knows
exactly
the
effect
he
has
no
movement
or
effort
wasted
all
in
the
name
of
survival
