Last night you were a panther.
One of the most beautiful animals in the world, but also
one of the most dangerous.
Listed around in the nature of darkness
with glittering coat and shining eyes.
You hunted.
Circle your prey.
You can feel the silence.
You stretched out your paw,
washed it gently,
before planting it in the wet surface.
You smelled in the night.
Licked your mouth
and jumped up to the nearest tree.
At the top you looked over the landscape.
Felt hunger, starvation and desire.
You have to kill tonight to survive.
You closed your eyes, a panther was your destiny
in this life.
You were attacked, smashed kisses and the heart torn out.
No magic.
No beautiful words.
No one cares.
No one miss you, just coldness and darkness.
Quietly you go from the place.
This time satisfied.
You won this fight.
You sneak home.
Lie down.
Lick your wounds.
You know it’s not long to the
next hunger
next yearning
next desire
the next battle.
Die or survive…
