“Grace is getting what you don’t deserve”

​Driving to Elko on a winter day

storm clouds stacked

from Lone Mountain to the Rubies.

Jesus rays in all directions.

Even the lonely house on Adobe Summit

softened by snow and  light.

For a moment, looking down,

you would think the whole damned town

rests upon hallowed ground.

For all I know, and this is true,

a light shines right now on me and on you.
