Needing to
remember
the story of
Mary
accused, before
Jesus
about to be
punished
lying at his
feet
They dropped
their stones
remembering
their sin
none claiming
the right
to cast the
first stone
All of them
guilty
feet made of
clay
none of them
standing
in judgment of
their sister
the crowd walked
away.
