Live Interval
Lightning or fishes in the night of the sea and birds, lightning in the forest night. Our bones are lightning in the night of the flesh. O world, all is night, life is the lightning.

Live Interval - meaning Summary
Life as Sudden Illumination
The poem presents life as a brief, sudden illumination within a larger darkness. Paz links lightning, fish, birds, and human bones to suggest that nature and the body share the same fleeting energy. The final vision is not simply bleak: although the world is figured as night, life appears as the flash that makes existence briefly visible.
