Poem with Two Endings

Written by Jane Hirshfield

 

Death is voracious, it swallows all the

  living.

Life is voracious, it swallows all the dead.

Neither is ever satisfied, neither is ever

  filled,

each swallows and swallows the world.

The grip of life is as strong as the grip of

   death.

 

生與死

兩者都貪得無饜

兩者都永遠吃不飽

有生就有死

有死就有生

兩者勢均力敵

是開始也是結束

是結束也是開始

 

Life or death

that is

the

?
