"Aging" by Michelle Disser depicts the dusted canvas painting of life, as it fades through time. "Aging" compares the slow continual prowl of a panther to that of time. "First you find yourself lucky to see the large cat," but it inches closer. Much like time the panther doesn't cease it's bloodlust until satisfied. The hunt's end just "come[s] closer," and closer. Father times arms swing round and round till you're trapped in his arms and the panther, stares you blankly in the face. "You wish it to stop, but it continues." But time doesn't end, the arms unwind and you're left in blissful harmony. But as you're set free from the hands of time, they slowly wind around a new target, and the panther, stalks its prey.
