I had seen a picture of you way back when.
I was taken by your stripes and realized
I did not understand much of your stature
your jaws open wide
your hind legs stretched behind.
I can see you standing back behind the chainlink.
It breaks my heart every time.
I think about the effects we don't expect and the times we don't try.
Thylacine -- it breaks my heart every time.
In my mind, I can see you there pacing.
I am aware that I have never seen you wild.
How can I live what I could call a penance?
How I long to see you alive.
I have returned to you for years now in my thoughts.
I see you from the side in black and white.
I miss you deeply, though I don't know much about you.
Though I would like to see.
Thylacine -- it breaks my heart every time.
