The Sound Mother Made

“My God, my God,

 why have you forsaken me?”

The cry/

from the cross/

sobbed

mother sobs,/

broke/

in father breaths;/

it stuck/

in his mouth, like/

a dry/

nursery rhyme,/

in the death/

before our death/

and life.

“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and mankind,

the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. ...”

                                        1 Timothy 2:5-6 NIV
