Joseph

March 19. St. Joseph's Day.

His day usually falls
During Lent.
A reason to break
The Lenten fast
Bury him in the lawn
Facing the house
A quick sale
Forthcoming.
He will be paraded
Around the block.
Polished.
He requires a position
Of honor.
Heaven knows
He didn't get it
In that stable
With his Son
On the cross.
He simply disappeared
But not today.
Not today.
