Abandoned, Forsaken

The words of the scriptures
the same statement in different versions
what Christ said, cried out
sheer agony of his utterance
His word on the cross
“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?”
ancient words, their meaning
abandoned, forsaken
left there by his Father
the one who called him
submitting to our God
there left, abandoned
forsaken on the cross
