The jaguar\u2019s a deity
\nrunning away from those who believe in him.
\n  
\nHe blends in with the mottled light
\nthat falls on rocks,
\nturns to breath passing through long grass,
\nand guides himself by memory
\n  
\nacross territory he knew
\nwhen he moved in a different body
\n  
\ncenturies before
\nit was settled and mined and divided.
\nHe is so bright now
\nas he descends from a ridge
\n  
\nthe land is the shadow he casts.<\/strong>

\nDavid Chorlton was born in Austria, grew up in Manchester, England, and lived for several years in Vienna before moving to Phoenix in 1978. Arizona\u2019s landscapes and wildlife have become increasingly important to him and a significant part of his poetry. Meanwhile, he retains an appetite for reading Eugenio Montale, W. S. Merwin, Tomas Transtr\u00f6mer and many other, often less celebrated, poets.
