O Hounds! O Life!

O hounds, o life!
Azure circle, catalyst of motion,
Gripped in shared obsession.

Curved planes of polymer and air,
Conduit of raw energy,
Binding in the primal dance.

In this dusty arena of instinct,
What ancient memories stir?
Of hunt and chase and pack,
Distilled to pure sensation.

O hounds, o life!
Teeth meet synthetic skin,
A tug-of-war with gravity and time.
In this fleeting struggle,
What eternal truths emerge?
