*****
Lizzard
No myth, this dragon, spotted green on green
Monitor of Guam’s think tangan-tangan,
Low and sleek, undulating nose to tail,
Silent, cunning hunter of shrews,
Only the boar, and man, his equal,
Bursts on to the trail with speed alarming,
Northwest Field, unhunted for decades,
A dangerless oasis where life can mature,
Five feet long, this one!
Two hundred pounds, thirty miles per hour,
I yielded the path, letting him lead,
Weaving the palm tree slalom I could not follow,
I slowed to a stop as the canopy lowered,
He moved through the jungle as the master,
I stayed to watch him slip out of sight,
Yet he turned to me, as if to ask for another motorcycle chase.

Similar. The monitor lizards of Guam are little guys, the biggest I'd seen before then was less than 3 feet, probably 15 pounds. This place was an abandoned munitions dump with a guarded fence. Sometimes we snuck through holes in the fence. There's a documentary airing on the place now. They say they found 750,000 unexploded ordinances there last year. They finally cleaned it up for new development. No more habitat for my old friend...I mean OLD...probably 100 when I saw him.

I would, have liked to have seen that.
Strange, when a creature looks you in the eye,
and you know, there is a communication.
I find it heartening some how.

Of course I believe it.
A doe in a deep green forest.
We looked at each other;
For maybe half a minute.
I blinked and she was gone.
In her liquid eyes was all Wisdom
But I wasn't quick enough to hear.

Yes, I believe you:
A chimpanzee in a cage,
In a "natural habitat,"
In the non-tropical city of Philadelphia, PA,
The "City of Brotherly Love,"
Stares at me with human eyes,
Speaks to me with animal sounds.
Still, I understand her:
"You are my sister. Help me."
