(i)

In the cage	In the wild
Stalks	Lurking in shadow
Few steps of his cage	Sliding through long grass

Locked in a concrete cell	Baring his white fangs, his claws
Stalking the length of his cage	Terrorising the village
Ignoring visitors
Stares at the brilliant stars

Cage	Wild
Few steps of his cage	Shadow
Concrete cell	Long grass
Locked	Water hole
Behind bars	Plump deer

Patrolling cars	Village
