  1. yesterday,
    freezing winter seemed so far away
    now my chilly cubs refuse to play
    oh I believe in yesterday

    suddenly,
    I’m not half the cat I used to be
    so many hares are white and hard to see
    oh yesterday came suddenly

    why my toes are froze, I don’t know
    the sky is gray
    my cave is cold, so I search
    for yesterday

  2. leopard crossing trail
    of snow through cedars, wolves’ eyes
    watch with hunger, fear

  3. flurries quietly
    touching noses while paws press
    crisp, crunchy, icy
    nature’s floor of wintry pad
    coolness warms the leopard’s heart

  6. The Leopard’s Prayers

    My ancestors in heaven
    snow king be your name

    Your kingdom come
    your will be done
    in winter as it is in other seasons

    Give me this day my daily prey
    and protect me from my predators
    as I also have protected my cubs

    And lead me not into desolation
    but deliver me from famine

  7. animals shiver
    in hovels, lone leopard pads
    through green, snow-chilled trees
