Title or description:  from John 12
Author:  Wanda Todd


she knelt that day
one woman
in a crowded house

she broke the box
of scent
poured it all out

she washed two feet
of skin
dried them with (her) hair

one said that day
why?
save it or sell it

sell?  how much?
for a dime?
hundreds of dimes?
a quarter perhaps?
how many pieces of silver
is it worth?

what about the one
hung on a cross
shut in a tomb

it only cost one life
one price for eternity
paid in full

no refund
