Moses on the Mesa
* * * * *
Sometimes it seems God could be
the eye of a horse that holds
a darkened lake, some boat of light
upon wind swept grain. And here
among the opened white scroll
of clouds trapped inside a water trough
lies a baptism without some doctrine.
— Greg Sellers, opening lines to “Faith Found in a Pasture,” The Journal of Wild Culture (3 November 2017)
