Mary, you perfume his head
you anoint his feet
and wipe them clean with your own hair
not knowing why you weep
and the widow drops her mite
and listens to it ring
for a moment before her heart
reminds her it is hungry
the men spoke in riddles,
arguments, and dreams
but the women understood
you were worth everything
