They were mocking me. Laughing, they spat in my face,
Turning their backs to me as if they were immaculate.
Abandoned, I wandered the streets, in disgrace,
Mary Magdalene.

You opened Your door to me though I was penniless.
You didn’t ask who I was or where I was traveling.
Somehow, You could tell that my road was strenuous,
Mary Magdalene.

You fed me out of Your palms. Almost light-heartedly,
You shared Your body with me like some share a mandarin.
When we were done, there was more than we started with,
Mary Magdalene.

I knew when I saw your name that I was in for a treat. You never disappoint me. This is both powerful and evocative. Thanks.

I don't get to read your work very often (?), but I guess you know that you are a "master" at writing poetry.....
