My Loss
Is a Bengal Tiger
Raging
Biting
Clawing
Attention-occupying
And only after weeks
Of the biting
I realize
The true nature
Of unconditional love:
That the animal bites
Are a direct and mutilating
cause and effect
Of me holding his chain.
I must release him
Let him escape
Forgive
And never stop loving.
