They say that scent is
the closest sense to memory;
I wouldn’t know, but Jesus,
enveloped in the memory of myrrh –
his mother Mary eked it out,
birth by birth –
his mortality laid out end to end,
Jesus remembered swaddling love.
One can only imagine Judas
had other memories
that smelled less sweet;
I wouldn’t know.
