The Opposite of Confusion

entry picture

I never expect the universe to explain itself.
Or love, for that matter.

But our dogs are sleeping in your lap,
because that's where they want to be.

And you ask me how you look,
the wind ruffling your dress,
before we go out.

While the universe maintains its silence,
I feel clarity among the ease.
