ATR/101.2 394 Anglican Theological Review Amid these horrors, Runyan boldly calls out to God, “I am so close to you I must tell you / you are wrong” (p. 47). She also asserts, “I am trying to believe that God / doesn’t will destruction, that out of love / he allows our terrible freedoms // to gallop across the globe” (p. 41). Who could not want to flee from the proclamation “Christ comes after you with nothing more / than a word in his mouth: // just a double-edged marrow / splitter, knife handle // jostling in his jaws” (p. 79)? But who also could not run toward the plea, “swallow me and spit me out / so I can stagger back to you” (p. 33)? This is the tug and pull of such revelations.
