Dead with the Dead
fallen
fallen down
down
into the depths, to the deepest,
abandoned
utterly abandoned.
in nothing
in the darkness, the dust, the silence.
Here — there is no Praise of God
Here — there is no god
only — this god, this man, this dead
this one who came
this one who fell
to the depths
to the deepest depths
of the abyss.
"What he has not assumed
he has not redeemed"
Ireneaus
