After his time in the desert
after his baptism
the spirit upon him
steeling his steps
Denying the devil
he returned to his hometown
claiming the mantle
his calling from above
The carpenter’s son
no longer his persona
claiming the words of Isaiah
to guide the rest of his life
Changed forever, the Christ
and his hometown
unable to see the Messiah
standing in their midst
