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.”

#poetry #jane hirshfield #meeting the light completely

[beguines]

There is more and more I tell no one, strangers nor loves. This slips into the heart without hurry, as if it had never been.

And yet, among the trees, something has changed.

Something looks back from the trees, and knows me for who I am.

Jane Hirshfield, from "Three Foxes by the Edge of the Field at Twilight", The Lives of the Heart
