Thylacine Tetractys

extinct Thylacine

What’s

Extinct?

Not now seen,

Amongst us now,

The Thylacine, hunted to extinction.

Used to be called Tasmania’s wild dog,

All traces lost,

Grainy pic

Haunts us

Life.

.

Dead

Through genes

Maybe hope

To once again

Re-engineer it’s foxy loping gait.

.

Can science make up for our past hunting?

Assuaging guilt.

It’s dead now.

Let it,

Rest
