| Mary Magdalene, Jan van Scorel (c1530) |
A nameless woman
breaks her alabaster jar
and pours out the scent of life -
Her life for His.
A postscript to the gospel.
A man who need not be named
fills his hands with the spoils of betrayal.
The stench of death.
His death for His.
Whose life do we remember?
