signal irretrievably scrambled--
no reprieve for the lone animal
that shrank away only to be caged...
still, sharp teeth are perfectly able
to reach the hands that reach inside
and stop short the unknowing fingers
that might key the lock from the outside.
Animal magic and a standoff between nature's inheritors in tooth and claw elP. It's great to contain so much in so few words.

I always love the succinct way you use words to create a picture. This is no exception. A sharp warning to anybody seeking to cage another animal of any description
nice one elp

Hello, Martin, David, and Ray...
I have to admit to you that I have a habit of placing somewhat obscure references within my writing because I'm never really sure as to how to approach some subjects. It just seems that there are things that can't really be given a name.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
