Here in Guernsey, mid-November, it's unseasonably warm and none the worse for that. Is this unusual weather linked to global warming? May we expect temperatures to climb steadily in years to come and, with that climate change, the emergence of creatures more accustomed to Mediterranean climes? They'd have to be imported, of course, but there are plenty of lizards here already, as pets, and pets have a habit of escaping into the wild. Watch this space.
LIZARDS
They move so fast, these lizards, quick
and bright, unnaturally green,
that what I glimpse is memory,
an after-image, a tail-flick,
a shape imagined, not quite seen,
a nothingness, illusory.
