Renovation

Joey borrows the hands of Jesus,
roughwork fingers and stained
scathing palms

every Saturday morning

He roams a common castle,
wielding the power of the laborstrong man
with a dulled wooden hammer

every Saturday morning

He pounds his scepter above soot,
when the dust clears a house's hips are redefined.
He smokes a celebratory cigarette each time.
