As a species the cheetah is still in dire straits in Iran, so it is extremely encouraging to see an apparently healthy family in their native habitat. Images like these give hope to conservationists that there is still time to save these magnificent animals.

Sometimes I grow
so tired of speaking
my emotions to you.
I open my mouth
and dust spills out
instead of feelings.

That's how it is sometimes--
God comes to your window,
all bright light and black wings,
and you're just too tired to open it.

There lives the dearest freshness deep down things . . . ,
