Транзит translated by Donald Thomas

* * *

Swallowed by earth, what's left to show
of you, of me, in the amalgam?
Upside down, I'm the speckled snow
marked 'February' in an album.

There's nothing of me here — a smudge
on a stamp reading 'return to sender'.
Sliding along at vision's edge
there is a silent salamander.
