I See You

I see you,

 With your green slitted eyes,

And your long pointy nails.

---

The way you move,

through the mulch,

and the way you eat,

I see you.

---

Scales,

Tails,

Nails and all,

I see you.

---

And even though,

Others are intimidated by you,

I want to hold you,

And the anticipation,

 is killing me.

---

I watch you through,

The glass cage,

 that confines you.

---

I watch as you scurry,

When people take photos of you.

---

I’m one of those people.

---

It’s been almost six

years.

Since I’ve found

my love and

fascination towards you.

---

I have a list of names

in my phone

already ready for you.

---

So,

blue iguana,

sitting on top of your house,

made of logs,

in the middle of Petco.

I see you.

---

And I’m almost ready,

to bring you home.
