The Gospel According to Mary Fagdalene
"prostrate and prone
on the floor
i lie like
a newborn set
at his fathers feet
to lift or
let be
who am i
to the sweat on
my brow
holy water crept
to the corner of my eyes
you say this flesh is sin
Lord, i feel it.
tear against the bone
against the sinew
self flagellated
i lay my blood
at the cave entrance
who are we
to outlive god?
who is mary to that
little boy at his fathers
polished shoes."
