a star, a tree

a star by Gabriel Rosenstock
a star
a tree
and the longing in between


Tree by Jane Hirschfield
It is foolish
to let a young redwood   
grow next to a house.

Even in this   
one lifetime,
you will have to choose.

That great calm being,
this clutter of soup pots and books—

Already the first branch-tips brush at the window.   
Softly, calmly, immensity taps at your life.
