Living


Living

Denise Levertov


The fire in leaf and grass
so green it seems
each summer the last summer.


The wind blowing, the leaves
the 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.
