A man who works with his hands
lowers eyes.
Filthy palms and fingers!
He picks a bar of dirty soap,
vigorously rubbing hands and soap
into a stream of impure water,
freshens up his hands;
shakes them, dries them on
a grubby towel:
takes the biggest breath
he ever took to clean his heart
and now he offers hands and heart
as pure as he can make them.
Will you take them?
