Gray Lizard
He can't enlarge the rock—
can only find its safest distance
from the burning light of day
and from inquisitive sticks and fingers
curious about what might be hiding
under weight too great to lift.

I like the way this scans, Gary, but don't lizards sun themselves by day and hide at night? *
This puts me in a very imaginative state of mind. Well done. *
The "weight too great to lift" at the end is a perfect way to close.
It's a hard life for a lizard. *
We have lizards here, too. They seek shelter. scamper about, freak out the dogs.*
Matt, metaphorical lizards never need warm themselves...
