Lizards
Federico Licsi Espino
"Cousins to Charmeleons
but-color-fast
They wear the drabness of the dusk
Against the ceiling's
incandescent glow.
For insect blinded by the bright
Conspiracy of tongue anf tungsten, they
Are dragons
atrophied but still as cunning
As their mythic counterparts.
Feigning
Gentleness, they wait for unsuspecting
Wings drawn to dazzlement and only, only
When the prey is near
Do they slough off all disguise:
These dragons who have lost
their blowtorch
Breath but not the coldness
Of their green, reptalian blood."
