The Lizard’s Eye

My eye, the camera’s eye, the lizard’s eye
     Met as I bent to seize my subject.

Seize it I did, catching the great creature’s form, and

With a click committed it to the memory card.

     The lizard’s eye, piercingly bright

     Met mine, seizing me, making me the subject,
     Drawing me deeply into its indifferent world.
