where Sunny Dunes crosses Sunrise Way
it becomes the entrance to
a church called Desert Chapel
and the traffic signal there
we call the Jesus Light
much of the time it remains a
clear emerald for traffic flowing
towards God’s House and remains
an over-extended cherry red for cars
who want to pass in front of it
long enough to say a number of
Hail Marys’ or Lord’s Prayers’
while tapping on the steering wheel
to break a silent commute and stare at
nothing moving into the Divine’s driveway
so to get through that juncture
my husband and I square our travel
around an adjacent block drive up
Sunny Dunes to the Sunrise juncture
and if it happens to be red say
Jesus loves me yes I know
for the Bible tells me so . . .
and before one more praise
comes out of a mouth
click
Green
