The tiger watches his prey
quietly, cautiously
waiting for the right moment
The prey senses the intense gaze
scared, she runs
trying to save her life
The tiger races after its prey
hungry, wanting his feast
the time is right, he pounces
The prey falls, feeling the immense
weight of her attacker
The tiger takes hold of her heart
and returns to his den,
The game has ended
