Lizard Lounging

The lizard ran out 

quickly.

He sat on a rock 

and looked up

slowly

checking the progress 

of the sun.

It suited him

so he stayed

and stayed

soaking up the warmth

reserving his energy

relaxing.

Relaxed

but alert

only moving when disturbed

by food

or danger

moving quickly then

to pounce

or head back

knowing his path

straight back

into his hideaway

willing to lose a tail

on the way

if necessary.
