"The Tigers Have Spoken" by Neko Case (from The Tigers Have Spoken)
They shot the tiger on his chain, in a field behind the cages. He walked in circles 'til he was crazy, and he lived that way forever; and he lived that way beside them, separate from the other tigers — he could not know another tiger.
They shot the tiger on his chain, in a field behind the cages. He walked in circles 'til he was crazy, and he lived that way forever; and he lived that way forever, just as long as he could remember — if he had wanted to remember.
Was the last time he had felt alive, when he saw that brown-haired lady. She'd fed him with a bottle as a baby, and he recalled her face and smile... they shot that tiger on his chain.

Those who will remember, will speak fondly of the warm morning breeze.
