Perfume

With all of a prostitute’s

attention to the senses,

she pours out the jar

of her body for Jesus,

cascading her sorrow over

his feet and praising

with the generous rain

of her tears. She bathes

his feet in rich oil

of myrrh, that ancient calm

and faint provocation.

Sheets of her hair

descend on his ankles,

and she burnishes

the gentle slopes

of his feet. She’s become

the most treasured

of heaven’s rags.

She anoints him bountifully

with the pleasures of flesh,

turning her earnings

to the wine of perfume,

a gift that caresses

the spirit with scent.

Her hands as they soothe

his weary feet plant him

again in the soil

of his senses. For

this she will always

hold her place in his story.
