do you understand
the blue of a summer sky?
or a hummingbird hovering
outside your window?
do you know why a dream
wakes you in the middle
of the night leaving only
a trace of its wonderment?
or why some random thing
triggers a memory that lingers
and lingers long into the day
and makes you happy
or sad?
it’s a lost cause
to understand any of this
for love defies explanation
