Her hair
caressed, massaged
washed his feet
anointing oil, spread
by her soft hair,
washed with her tears,
outpouring of love
of deep feeling,
maybe understanding,
of the path he was on
the road to the cross
for our sins, her doubt
washing his feet,
preparing him
for his death
boundless love
poured out
