reptiles – Echidna Tracks

a red-belly black
claims right of way
fire trail

Jan Dobb

country road
the disappearing stump
of a blue tongue

Rose van Son

blending in debris
the blue tongue’s stillness
its shield

Phil Saunders

scaling
the time-tempered rock
a water dragon

Mira Walker

morning round—
one by one I greet
the garden’s skinks

Leanne Mumford

coastal taipan . . .
I backtrack along a road
best not taken
