Camouflage

 
 

 

 

 
Vision stalls at forest edge
where wilderness grows fierce

solitudes. Of tiger and tree, the contrast 

between concealed and concealing

is never simple.
 
Wise hunters measure the paradox-

how to capture something free, to hold its water

while never touching the river.

    Oh that's cool! I like how you divided the fierce and solitude... gives it a double impact And I love the paradox ... hunting for the prize but skillfully avoiding the danger (anyway, that's what I saw in the trees )
