scrambling the lizards – v2

enemy approaching
silent red alerts sounding
scrambling the lizards,
across the lawn, the sidewalk,
like fighters on the tarmac, on guard,
sprinting at a moment’s notice
 
my walking closer
unconscious of their presence
scrambling the lizards,
from their hiding, their hangars,
hidden in the grass, the weeds,
running for the trees, the bushes…
