Description
body div#devskin0 hr { }
Woodworker's Son;
Did they know that you
would snag so much more
than splinters in Your palms?
& how You
could lift shards
from our hearts
without shredding them apart
Would I see
the gaping gulf
& the uselessness
of lumber bridges
where attempts in timber
save for one
tumble into slivers?
Could I begin to try
through the planks
& sawdust
scales upon my eyes?
I'd only hack my limbs away
Your peroxide remedies - must precede
splashing bleach against
such steadfast rosin stains

This is probably the first time I have not rolled my eyes at hashtag Jesus. It was a great read - wonderful images. Familiar but not tired.

Thank you very much! I try very hard not to be cliche when writing Christian poetry. I know my stuff is edgier than most, but I can't personally stand tired sentiments, and moreso, I know people who aren't Christians DEFINITELY dislike them.
That means a lot, and it's what I was shooting for

I think Jesus himself is pretty edgy, so poetry in that vein seems apropos.
