treasure within our bodies
our will, our spirit
held within the vessel
the jar of our flesh
like the clay jar of Mary
which she broke and poured
on the feet of Jesus
in worship and praise
alabaster skin of our bodies
only but a glove
love held with abandon
to be given, poured out
treasure within my body
our love held in clay jars
offered, as Mary did,
broken and poured
