Page 92 - The_Lizard

A bolt of thunder roared
the light arrived before its sound
if mister Lizard had not been with me
the lighting would have struck me
he received my fate and was dismembered.

I took his head in my hands and cried across Pluto’s coasts
the fishes with paws surrounded me silently
who was going to wake me up in summer nights?
who would frighten me in dreams?
who would guide me through canvases and prepare my path?

But all of a sudden, the reptile began to blink
in my hands his body began once more to grow
all the rocks orbited around him.

And I understood that no matter how far away he is
mister lizard will always come back to see me
even if he’s destroyed
he will regenerate.
As long as there is one verse alive
until the end of time
the reptile will return.
