"Prowl"

[robinbloke]

tredding quietly
moving through the herd
eyes seeking
prowl
each one watched
eyes not narrowing
but the mind is
watching
calculating
yes or no
moving on
pad and tred
watch for a victim
pause, a flick of a glance
yes
the glance held a second
the strike, the pounce
held in the mind
swirling thoughts
blink
move on
