a/n: 60 words regarding The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger. An innocent victim of the tragedy.
Sahara King
The African sun
Is a distant vague memory;
All is now viewed
Between well-secured bars.
Savannah is lost to
A sawdust-strewn circus ring;
Lights glaring down
Replace African stars.
~0~
Instead of the hunt,
He performs to an audience;
Restless,
Unhappy,
And misunderstood.
Not really to blame
For the tragic conclusion
When instinct kicks in
At the hot scent of blood...
