Lizard Luxuries - Friday Meulengracht-Madsen

Fresh Avocado

To be a lizard


I scale a yellow clay wall

Tail wriggling swiftly

My little heart beats fast


Crunching insects in between my jaw

Legs sticking out of my mouth

Not caring about another’s wellbeing


Drinking droplets of water off the bright green moss

The only thing I care about is living


Small scales lining every inch of my body

Reflecting the warm sun that I bathe in


Oh the luxuries of being a lizard
