The Smoking Den

Selfless lioness
Streaking back
To a smoking den.
Safe already.
But refusing to
Run.

Helpless cub
With shaky legs.
Whimpering, whimpering.
Longing for help
That seems impossible.
With one last faint cry echoing from the dark den
It waits for inevitable death.

And the lioness bounds in.
To save.
Just as
The
Den
Falls.
A hero with a last stand.
