Becoming Iguana

By Trish Scott ©

Iguana
Timeless creature
Sits on a rock in the sun
And blinks slowly

Become iguana and know
The here and now
Then and way before then
And way into tomorrow

Pretend your belly onto a warm rock
Feel your body substantial warm and wise
Forever lingers there within you
Blink the years as they pass

Fly presents itself to you
Your long tongue darts and
Fly becomes iguana
Iguana becomes a little more forever

A whiff of danger on the wind
A flick that may have been imagination
And iguana is gone into cool hiding
Gone to dream another earth

Iguana becoming iguana
