You, look--

See the jungle cat,

Jiving with a snaking back

Twining sloping stacks of green,

Living in the world, unseen,

Sleuthing as so many do,

Bathed in many shades of cool.

One I see in gloomy darkness,

Gliding with sensitive snarkiness,

Smacking brillo tongue with care,

Against the blood-scented air,

Slipping through thin eerie cracks,

There she is, the jungle cat.
