Common Lizard
Slipped over and fell upon
My knees this sunny afternoon
On Ardnamurchan’s point
And kneeling so my eyes in line
With geology for once I saw
A flash of gold and brown;
Ancient intelligentsia, a gentleman known
For fleeting visitations,
Shy guest and bowed
Before him, made my proper prayer
That all lizards be safe
The world over and common
In knowledge, decency in tongues spoken,
languages understood,
And hear you out
On this peninsular of rock,
Your body the temperature of granite
In summer older you
Than I, I offer
An acknowledgement of
Lessons learnt, my mammalian heart
No warmer than your own my wits
Dull beside your ancient eye.
