Wise Men brought
Myrrh. Affliction.
Burned during a funeral.
Used to embalm
(As Nicodemus brought,
Three decades or so later).
Also mingled with wine
To stupefy, sometimes called
Gall. Offered to a
Dying Savior
(Three decades or so later).
Think bitterness, suffering,
Death.
This gift, a prophecy at
His birth.
