why am I here? (10) close (I think it might be)

^{why am I here? (10) close (I think it might be) – 13/04/2024}

I’ll just whisper
this report
because
somewhere around here
is . . .

I don’t really know

I haven’t seen it

a hunter

some kind
of big cat

usually
I’d expect
to be able
to flush it out

scare it off . . .

usually

but this one
seems intent

as though it’s hunting

stalking

I hear
small sounds

like rustling cloth
just behind
or beside me

a sharp
soft
snap
of a twig

I better finish recording
now

I think
it might be
close
