Spring Rendezvous

Susan T. Moss

One hundred fifty million
years ago, yellow spotted
salamanders crawled

among the dinosaurs
searching for vernal pools
to mate in frenzied love

seeding new generations
now prompted by an April
New England night.

We wait for wriggling progeny,
survivors of Brontosaurus
and mythical fire

as they migrate from forest
and carry them to the other side
of a dark country road

beyond speeding cars
to spring ponds tucked
among maple and pine –

part of a cycle longer than
we can remember and greater
than our efforts to save them.
