Salamanders

This salamander rests between stones
in clear water. She is stone-color, with darker spots
and small, dark eyes. Her gill-fronds fan lightly in the water.
She lifts her tiny, smooth brown fingers,
then puts her hand back down again.
A pebble over, just the tail—-
a dark stone in the water
the rest of the salamander is hidden.
