My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?

it should not
not have ended
this way

struck as
he’d never been
struck before
Benn vanished
beyond the ropes
and came back
powerful body
furious anger
brute force
he lashed
at the other
mortal blows

my god
my god
why have you
forsaken me?

Gerald McClellan
shouts
with his gaze
fixed
as it is still.
