Aunt Jennifer’s tigers prance across a screen,
\nBright topaz denizens of a world of green.
\nThey do not fear the men beneath the tree;
\nThey pace in sleek chivalric certainty. <\/p>\n
Aunt Jennifer’s fingers fluttering through her wool
\nFind even the ivory needle hard to pull.
\nThe massive weight of Uncle’s wedding band
\nSits heavily upon Aunt Jennifer’s hand. <\/p>\n
When Aunt is dead, her terrified hands will lie
\nStill ringed with ordeals she was mastered by.
\nThe tigers in the panel that she made
\nWill go on prancing, proud and unafraid.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
