Living

The fire in leaf and grass
so green it seems
each summer the last summer.
 
The wind blowing, the leaves
shivering in the sun,
each day the last day.
 
A red salamander
so cold and so
easy to catch, dreamily
 
moves his delicate feet
and long tail. I hold
my hand open for him to go.
 
Each minute the last minute.
