Everything Has Two Endings

by Jane Hirshfield

Everything has two endings-- a horse, a piece of string, a phone call.

Before a life, air. And after.

As silence is not silence, but a limit of hearing.

Half-sleeping, my body pulls toward yours — desire a long oar dipping again and again in this night's dark rain.

Meeting the Light Completely

by Jane Hirshfield

Even the long-beloved was once an unrecognized stranger.

Just so, the chipped lip of a blue-glazed cup, blown field of a yellow curtain, might also, flooding and falling, ruin your heart.

A table painted with roses. An empty clothesline.

Each time, the found world surprises— that is its nature.

And then what is said by all lovers: “What fools we were, not to have seen.”
