The leopard

The tail of the leopard wags.
It is as big as the sun.
The face is spotted with dark clots.
As the trees grow old and soon die.
A silhouette creeps over in the distance
Stalking its defenceless prey.
The old weeds in the grass spray upwards
As the sun continues to blaze bright.
It leaps high into the air.
