Black Panther Isaidub -

From the shadow of a stoop, a child presses a paper cup to a nose painted with a smile. He watches, wide-eyed, as the panther—this living dusk—walks the line between alley and avenue. The chant becomes a rhythm on the tongue, a code, a shield. Each repetition folds into the next, until the word is less language than breath and heartbeat, a single pulse that stitches strangers together.
