Assent


(Picture found here)
If you build your house
next to the river of love
you will come to recognize
the divine, whether an angel or
an open parking space.
Even the dust motes that
make a chain of light settling
on the office chair arm are
a sign. Reckon with the truth
that the whole universe flares
with just-born light. And
that even in winter’s ink-black dark
every flame live enough
to burn will matter.
