Languidly the lizard lingers

on my electric blue wall

subtly organizing his cosmic

order to make a perfect capture

through a moment of rapture.

Descending from the fall

the soft striations of his

muscles bear the burden of

evolutionary memories from

dinosaurs and dragonflies~

strange unnamed gestalts of

cognition ossify within

his frail structure

as he grows tinier

through transmigration.

At the apex of evolution

when the Maitreya arrives,

infinitesimal lizards would

wander on the earth, wearing

his ageless messages, soaked,

in the boundless history

of the cosmoses ~
