Puma – Moved A Spirit Silent

Puma

Moved A Spirit Silent

An iconic component of Chile’s Patagonian plateau, this male Puma apprehensively approached the remains of a fallen Guanaco. Just prior to his appearance, two female cats were on the carcass. As he neared, they magically dissolved into the landscape.

Across a windswept austral plain
moved a spirit silent
And with it came a frightful bane
to bring all near compliant
