clean hands

I wash my hands
frequently every day
fighting off viruses
lurking on surfaces
 
they love him dearly
but his addiction broke
them, so they wash
their hands of him
 
the congregation watches
the pastor washing his
hands in preparation
for the holy sacrament
 
those seeking power
in the dark try to
wash off the blood
but the stains remain
