priceless

sentimentality aside,
sacrificial act begun,
oil scented
giving

she knows
does not claim to understand,
this woman, now furiously wiping
back her tears
and His feet

she feels the earth
the choking dust from Roman feet
the crowds laughing
a day out
another death
just one more word
one more cheap commodity
annointed

priceless
