.
Standing perfectly still
in the savannah, with eyes closed,
for a quarter of an hour,
listening. There is a sound.
There is a wrong stink in the tall grass.
They are the children of gods,
they say, O serval, and
It's too late now.
They're gaining on you.
Standing perfectly still
in the savannah, eyes wide open,
for a quarter of an hour,
listening.
They are the children of gods,
they say, O serval, and
It's too late now.
They're gaining on you.
Standing perfectly still
in the savannah, eyes wide open,
for a quarter of an hour,
listening.
