The shift from cold bone to heat sink, touch like relief to solid rock,sense of zen to sun beat is very effective. 'Quartz flecked' is perfect. I'm thinking of the occasional current sightings of lizards in a sadder state after hibernation and how they will soon recover their stateliness.
Thanks Efi! A beautiful poem. It really captures that lizard. it was the first warm dry day we had had in Canberra for a week. This dragon was really soaking it up.
