if you're wondering...

why i moved back to colorado...

this is it:

taken on saturday, september 9, 2006. from the top of guanella pass, down the rosalie trail, and down the abyss lake trail.

once again, i am reminded of the name of this blog, and for those of you who might not have started at the beginning, i will repeat it here.

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.
