"Black Magic"
Something magical comes to life in the sunlight
revealed, a chubby comfortable lizard resting warm
under a sunny pot in the the garden, a flash of life
flickers like flame ignited in the wet black body
a foot long, as though a snake with legs and six inch tail
black velvet body streaked in blue and yellow stripes
revealed in the light, Flashes with instinct of fear and scurries
with the most elegant motion of a guided slither, away from me
Black Magic beyond my comprehension something more beautiful than i
oh magical snake, wilt thee ever come home to my garden again?
Lonely, I Gaze long time out over the city with a peace and a prayer
That My Gorgeous Black Lizard Will Return to me here!
Probably, he's indulging on earthworms and bugs in a sunny place
under covering of a cool stone, or perhaps, he is somewhere lingering
on my porch!
