Trapped like an criminal
in a confining cage
pacing back and forth
until the hopelessness
sinks in and takes over.
The creature sinks
down into lethargy
and a fog of indifference.
The free spirit that once
burned brightly
locked away,
what remains, but
a smothered coal
in a cold damp cave
close to annihilation.
The tiger dreams
of the chase.
