Screaming alongside us
Eli, Eli
My God, my God,
why do I forsake you
while I hang on the cross
of my screw-you, my hell-no,
my let’s-just-get-this-over-with,
my it-couldn’t-get-worse-than-this,
my lies, my leanings and inclinations
toward the better-for-me-worse-for-you?
You’re the only one who gets it.
You scream alongside me—
but I can’t hear you.

“Isn’t it wonderful? It makes all the difference to know there’s someone else screaming alongside you — and that’s the point of the incarnation. I can see that so clearly now. God came into the world and screamed alongside us.” — Drops Like Stars, p. 68
